What Makes a Great Coworking Space?
We’re big fans of the whole coworking movement and enjoyed a recent visit to some of the more popular San Francisco coworking spaces. The coworking movement is growing fast. They even have their own unconference–set for March, 2011 in Austin, Texas.
The philosophy behind this movement sounds pretty utopian: a global community dedicated to the values of collaboration, openness, community, accessibility, and sustainability. But, when these values are put into practice, they manifest as a great hybrid between workspace, community center, event space, education resource, and even support group. And, for independent contractors or small startups, a coworking space can provide a professional environment and liberation from the isolation of working from home or the local coffee shop.
Some of the spaces we recently checked out include NextSpace, Rocket Space. From our view, the best spaces are close to public transportation and have great perks like free coffee (or espresso!), extracurricular events, and mixers and meetups for member networking.
