If you are launching a startup or have one that is just one or two people, you should really try to get into a coworking space. It can be more cost effective, but that is not the best reason to do it. You’ll get knowledge sharing, energy, and a lof of camraderie. And you can’t put a price on those things when you are doing a startup. –Fred Wilson, AVC
Fred Wilson made a fairly long post this morning (link above) about coworking locations. He points out that while he’s not a big fan of incubators overall (I disagree with him there, but we’ll do that in another post). He specifically calls out about a half dozen NYC based coworking locations and then points to this wiki with a list of 8 current spots, 4 under construction and 15 “alternative locations”.
I know AlphaLab has coworking space (but only for their incubated companies) and I know there was an attempt at a location called Think Tank; but the only coworking location I know for sure is open is Eve‘s We Do Property Cowork downtown. Is that really the only one? If so, that’s something we need to work on.
