There’s a “typical” model in Coworking that, when combined with a great location, design, product mix, and marketing that aligns with a clearly defined ideal member, is optimized for profit.
A lot of folks drawn to starting “Coworking spaces” are inspired by a shared workspace model centered around a thriving community….but they have a specific end-user in mind that is not your typical freelancer or remote user. They are serving a unique audience. Their offerings will be “different.” We see a LOT of those folks in our Coworking Startup School and Accelerator program.
There’s so much room for diversity of spaces and approaches in coworking. But there’s also a lot of room to end up with a model that isn’t financially sustainable.
In this episode, we talk about how to pursue a variation on the “typical” Coworking model and find success.
