started Kamer52 in a space I already owned. I live in a 400 year old
house; the former stable has been used through the years as a lot fo
things, including a car painting shop, a bicycle shop, and so forth.
My in-laws converted it
Oh, yeah, I forgot: one very great advantage of owning is that you
can do whatever you want with the space (assuming it's legal I
mean) :-) I don't have any restrictions on opening times or access or
permitted uses or renovation or any of that; I am considering putting
solar panels on the roof
Hi Susan,
Yes! Coworking Love Stories is it. I just skipped over it after seeing
the title because I assumed it was about people who fell in love at a
coworking space. :)
I'd still love to know more in response to my second post in this
thread. Most importantly: I've already asked my members to

I've been lurking a bit on this list for about a month, absorbing some of the
great stories, insights, and definitely the creativity, passion, and good will

with Local 64.
Local 64 will be the first creative

expect.
I will say that my own model is all tied up with location. Unhappily

Mojo Coworking in Asheville is also at the precipice of deciding to
purchase or lease. We have been open for one year in a 1620 square
foot space in the very heart of downtown Asheville. We maxed out after
about 7 months. It's a great spot, but we're paying retail lease
pricing when I don't
Thanks for all of the great feedback so far everyone!
I too really like the bus analogy - the points about not buying a seat on
the bus, as well as the point about the ease of getting off when you just
have a ticket both resonate with me!
This discussion brings up two related questions:
1.
We are an example of an organization that started with a rental model
and then graduated to an ownership model. We rent 24,000 sq ft and
own 36,000 sq ft (remember, our model is a bit different than a
traditional coworking space - we include private offices).
Interestingly enough, our third space

This is awesome, and a great national project that coworking spaces can
participate in to help their freelancing members.
Good on you all for starting this. I hope it goes well. (and so glad to
see Toronto native startup Freshbooks be a part of this)

Alex Hillman will probably chime in that you did it backwards. And he's
probably right. I mean, hell, like I know what I'm talking about? :)
Alex has written some great stuff, and his premise was basically, Get a
group together who want to be part of the community you want to build.
Then build
Thanks so much! We own the building and thought this would be a great
opportunity to use it. I will be getting in touch with all your
recommendations!

potential investor meetings), there are so many.

I've had pretty good results posting flyers at coffee shops. Some of the
coffee shop owners are also helping me market - because they don't want people
hanging out all day using their wifi and not buying anything. It's good if you
establish a relationship w/ the owner, for example if you buy

It could be the first time someone talk about Coworking in an event of
this kind in the city (we were the first coworking space here...).
We are very proud of what we are
