Hi all! I'm hard at work trying to find investors to make our NYC upper west side coworking space a reality. I'm wondering what the trend has been regarding fundraising and where I should focus my substantial but still limited energy. So far seem I've found people who are really interested but have no "real" money or people potentially interest and have money but so far haven't "drunk the coworking coolaid."
There seems to be quite a few routes to take: 1) Self-funding 2) Angels 3) Real estate investors 4) General/tech investors 5) Crowdfunding 6) Friends and family 7) Partnership with existing coworking owners 8) Others? What has been most successful for you and what hasn't been? Thanks in advance! THANKS!
