http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2012/01/how-much-does-it-cost-to-start-a-coworking-space/ There are a LOT of ways to do this, of course. We've consistently taken an approach of bootstrapping, iteration, and inclusiveness of the community. It's not only saved money on the cost side of the equation, but it's boosted the level of ongoing participation by helping people look at the space less as something they rent and more as something they contribute to always making better. It's been a win-win across the board. -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia pre-order my new eBook, "the business of community (http://book.businessofcommunity.com/?ref=email)" On Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 11:25 AM, Travis Arthur wrote: > We are close to setting up a new co-working space and have locked on > location, pricing, finish-out costs, etc. We have been estimating operating > costs in a bottoms up manner (line item by line item).
