I'm confused...Benjamin goes to such great lengths to say that Grind isn't a coworking space because it's not "an incubator or an accelerator" and that the "chairs, the tables, the real-estate, renting a seat or a desk are secondary to constructing a strong community." That sounds EXACTLY like true coworking to me! While coworking spaces can act like incubators, the spaces that exist purely to facilitate this aren't necessarily committed to the community aspects that set coworking apart from every other type of work space. On a related but unrelated note, Grind's pop-up coworking space during SxSW was really great. Anyone else check it out?
