Coworking Hudson NY

Page history last edited by circa1977@... 14 years, 8 months ago

I want to start a co-work space.

 

 

Co-Working Concept

 

Co-working is a shared work space where the many talented self-employeds in the Hudson area can have meaningful social and business interaction. A shared work space will break-up the solitude associated with working out of the "home office". I believe there is a need for this kind of office space in Hudson. Hudson's "creative class" would welcome the chance to work outside their homes and cultivate local business opportunities.

This type of workspace is a proven incubator of small businesses which will help create employment opportunities. This business model can help regenerate downtown areas.

 

Business week article on Co-Working talks about this new concept. Its a cross between a coffee shop (social interaction) and office (making money).

Its an easy and cheap alternative to a real office without the hassle of having an office.

Business Model

 

The co-working space model is simple and straight forward. The landlord provides a large office space. The space will be a mix of dedicated smaller offices, open desks, lounge area, meeting room and office amenities (internet, coffee break area, copy machine). The tenants will be a mix of memberships - monthly anchor tenants (dedicated office space or desk), monthly Hotdesk rentals (right to use any open desk) and drop-ins (day tenants). We can also proivide weekend only memberships, mail box privileges, etc.

 

I believe many "creatives" will use this space as an adjunct to their home office.

 

 

Next Steps - Location, members and investors

 

!

I have identified several locations, but have contacted only one building owner.

 

If anyone wants to sign up as a member (tenant) or member investor or just invest in this venture, lets talks.

Thanks

Whoever is interested in taking over this effort is welcome to. Good Luck

COMING TO ROSENDALE

 

I think friends of mine are opening up a coworking space in Rosendale near New Paltz and Kingston. A very cool area.
