Hi to all of you, Please accept my excuses for not answering to your answers before!
Many thanks for your insights. Actually, I don't know if I explained myself well: we are doing a market study for our start-up that wants to helps Freelancers to go out of home by selling flexible Coworking hours. (I hope that I explained myself well!!! :p). We have begun our market study in Spain, where we are based, with some Coworking Spaces, and the product really fits them. However, for this study, I need the opinion of Spaces in other countries. I understand your points about the community. Do you think that a person that buys 100 hours to access your Coworking Space is not part of your community? Again, many thanks for your help (you can see our landing page here: www.coworkingon.com) Maria El lunes, 29 de abril de 2013 14:58:54 UTC+2, Cristina Santamarina escribió: > > Hi Maria-Christina, > > +1 to what Jeannine said - we run a coworking space in Berlin ( > http://co-up.de) and we do not offer hourly passes - the smaller pass > is a day pass for 15 euro.
