Chicago's first informal coworking space was launched at 1807 W Sunnyside Ave, in July 2007. In 2009, after outgrowing the original space, the operation moved down the street, to 4410 N Ravenswood Ave, and was branded as the Ravenswood Coworking Group.
Today, Ravenswood's first coworking operation continues under the Platform Coworking banner, and has branched out to Wicker Park, and is actively searching for additional homes elsewhere in Chicago. You can check out the new space at: www.platformcoworking.com
