What is Coworking?

Discover Coworking

Coworking is a working environment that is designed to promote collaboration and community. You’ll find these shared workspaces all over the world.

Entrepreneurs, creative professionals, coders, independent consultants, freelancers, and business owners that may have traditionally worked from home are now finding the benefits of coworking spaces designed to foster collaboration.

Organizations of all sizes see coworking spaces as community hubs of entrepreneurship beyond simply providing physical spaces for people to work and meet. These spaces typically become the first choice location for small group meetups, offsite retreats, and events that promote innovation and entrepreneurship.

Amenities in these spaces include desks and chairs, comfortable seating, conference rooms, printers, and more. But don’t get hung up on the physical amenities. The true value of a good working space is the community itself. You probably have dozens of smart, driven people around who have different skills than you and that network becomes instantly valuable. Build your network to identify quality mentors, investors, co-founders, professional services providers and suppliers.
