[Coworking] Re: Cubes & Crayons turning 1 and moving

2009-01-07 Thread felicity at cubes

Hi Chris,

I'll give you the short version of the story.  The long one is
LOOO!

1. Menlo Park: Seemed great when we toured and we go a fabulous place
set up only to find more things not working than you can imagine
(MONEY PIT!)  We had a landlord in Menlo Park who was terrible!  2
weeks to deal with termites, won't fix the heat, etc.  He broke
contract with us and I got us out. WHEW!
2. Dilemma: Close?  Move somewhere on the Peninsula/South Bay, move to
San Francisco, work on locations outside the Bay Area?
3. Member input: We built this on a sense of community.  And when we
asked our existing members they begged us to stay down here.
4. Search: I spent the holidays searching for and securing a place and
the rest is history.

Our new space is truly fantastic and I think appeals to our existing
clientele as well as being a great
place for the coworkers without kids.  We are expanding our office
hours for coworking and have
fun new events coming online.  This truly will be the best coworking
you can get in the South Bay.

Happy to give anyone more specifics if they want a longer version.

-Felicity

Hi Felicity,

That's great news! I would be interested to hear how and why it came
about for you to move, what new options you are introducing and what
sort of lessons learned you've had along the way that pushed you in
that direction. Hopefully we can all share from your wisdom.

Cheers!

Chris
