Re: [Coworking] Lessons learned from failing?
I have just started but learning from mistakes. My first lessons relate to choice of location, bootstrapping with minimal investments and partnerships with investors. Early stages yet and have not quit despite odds. I know it will improve as I find more support and participation. I hope to learn from shared lessons here. Thank you David for asking this question.

Re: [Coworking] Lessons learned from failing?
This would be a good topic for those attending the Coworking Owners' weekend retreat in Oct in LA to discuss: how we mentor new coworking facilities; how we learn from those who sell, close, fail, or otherwise move on.

Re: [Coworking] Lessons learned from failing?
Great idea. Can we compile a list of efforts that have actually ended, or even come close? Seems like an excellent wiki page. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Jerome Chang jer...@blankspaces.comwrote: This would be a good topic for those attending the Coworking Owners' weekend retreat in Oct in LA to discuss: how we mentor new coworking facilities; how we learn from those who sell, close, fail, or otherwise move on.
