Hey all! I am in the process of opening a coworking space specifically designed for uplifting and sustaining creative professionals' careers. I'm so glad I found this channel, as it's a great sounding board for some consistent questions I've been having. Plus, I can see that a lot of our ideas have already been replicated elsewhere, so I'm excited to learn how others have done it before us!
We have a fantastic space ready to go, and everyone is on board with it, however we are going to need some starting capital to finish up some of the construction. Our landlord (the building owner) has already worked out a deal with us to finish 1/3 of 5000sq ft space, with the last 1/3 being our responsibility. We are estimating the construction costs to be around $15k-$20k, and then we'll have to pay for the furnishing after that as well. Overall, we're looking at needing probably $50,000 or more to furnish all of that area... We're planning on doing a crowdfund, but are still expecting to be short. :( Does anyone have any experience in asking investors or companies for sponsorships of any kind? I have no idea where to start, what to ask, or where to find people that would be interested in investing money of that kind. Any good resources or advice? Much appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
