I'll add another item to Jonathan\s list: 4 - Less diversity. 100 members with a flex or part time membership is 3x as many different occupations, passions, life experiences, and hobbies than 35 members with a full time membership, so the mix of people that members interact with will be much less with full time people packed in, but you can cap the number of full time members and ensure there are more part time or flex to make that diversity even more apparent and effective.
We have three membership levels: lite, part time, and full time. I always aim for a mix of approximately 30%, 50%, 20%, respectively, with no cap on daypass users or non-space usage memberships (virtual/non-space usage network membership only). r. *____________________rachel young*[email protected] *We're located at 2241 Dundas St W, 3rd floor* *(between Bloor and Roncesvalles)* *Chat with me *via 10KCoffees <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tenthousandcoffees.com%2Fprofile%2Frachel-young&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> *Find us online:* Website/blog <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fcamaraderie.ca%2F&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> and Newsletter <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fcamaraderienewsletter&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> , Twitter <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fcamaraderie&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> , Facebook <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F9zv3Fx&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> , Google+ <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FCamaraderiePlus&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> , Yelp <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FCamaraderieYelp&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5>, and LinkedIn <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FCamaraderieGroup&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> We're a proud member of CoworkingToronto <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coworkingtoronto.ca%2F&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> , CoworkingOntario <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fcoworkingontario.ca%2F&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5>, and CoworkingCanada <http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1qwymMW5wLM1s8rBvDjF51mVDt7mBxf5z9bGz03?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coworkingcanada.ca%2F&si=5437397447737344&pi=86732968-f3b7-4c9d-93d9-049ee0b7d3d5> !
