Hi there, As a former resident of St. Louis, I'm very excited to hear about your project and I wish you lots of success! I don't know of any particular resources for fundraising alone (except for Sloup if it's still around!), but a couple people in St. Louis who might have advice or be able

Dennis et al, I encountered very similar scenarios when planning a coworking space in NYC. Large dollar amounts, lots of risk, and the need for a lot of small investors (or a few large ones). I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make it work at that level, and encountered a

Tony, of course I thought about this approach as well. But there where many critics on this when we discussed this his. - Is a small CoWorking space really able to deliver the flexibility needed? - If you grow you need to move, which could be very bad for the CoWorking space? If someone wants

Dennis: I've been following this dialog for what feels like a while. I think all the suggestions that have been made to you have been spot-on and are worthy of serious consideration. Two that I'd like to add are: 1.) It's easy to create a list of expenditures and to write checks. It's

Mike, thank you for your feedback. Many CoWorking spaces I know work the way I described or similar. They are for example constructed as cooperative societies. Which seems to work not bad. Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate everything from all of you! Dennis

*- Is a small CoWorking space really able to deliver the flexibility needed? * Ultimately, it's about the true needs of the people who will populate the community. Our small space (about 1,200 square feet) has enough of what people need to make it work. It'd be great to have more room for a

We calculated that as an initial investment we need minimum 50.000 Euros for creating the CoWorking space (and having some money to run it for a few month). This excludes any employees for the space and includes not much investment for refurbishment etc. Now the idea is to find some persons

Hi Alex, Among the other themes, one of the most important is: spend money like you don't have any. Yeah. That is always good and the way we will do it. But we need some investment to get things running... I found no way to have it (much) cheaper than I calculated. Of course there is a

It includes:    * Rent deposit (~7.500 Euro) This is the norm in Germany (In NZ the deposit is the first month rent).    * Rent for the first six month (~18.750 Euro) This is OpEx. I agree it should be costed it is not a startup cost.    * Renovation (~5.000 Euro] This depends on the
