I like to think of it as a coworking family - some startups/kids are a good 
thing, and some “adults” (established consultants, remote workers etc) are 
needed to balance it out.

It needs to have a healthy mix of both, because otherwise the group as a whole 
will either be a frat house (and won’t take care of the space or each other), 
or will be a stuffy old country club (which is just no fun!). I don’t want to 
say it’s easier, but it’s definitely healthier to have a mix of kids and adults 
at the party - some of them won’t “get it”, but those that do will coach 
everyone along.

Hope that helps,
James

I liked calling coworking as "startup support systems" But not only
startups but all kind of organizations including corporations can benefit
from Coworking environment. Coworking facilitates serendipity, unplanned
but meaningful encounters with people who come from different backgrounds.
Working in a coworking environment can help you achieve your goals in
unexpected ways.

Coworking shall not only provide desks, computers and nice decoration but
also advocate open, flexible, easy to enter and exit business models.
Unfortunately industry seems concentrated on fancy looking, impressive
designer spaces but doesn't spend enough energy for the new business
culture.

[Coworking] What Makes Coworking Spaces Different From Shared Offices?

There's a lot of noise regarding the Coworking spaces across the world. 
However most of them are run as real estate properties rather than being 
startup support systems. What do you think will add value to Coworking 
spaces and make them a place for startups to start, sustain and grow their 
dreams?
