Working from home is the dream, right? Maybe at first – but after months of working from the couch + living in “sweatpants chic,” it can get old.
Our solution to preventing cabin fever? Coworking spaces.
Coworking spaces encourage collaboration over competition as members typically come from a variety of companies, ventures + projects. The community acts as a springboard for creativity, allowing members to participate and learn. It basically helps to develop a greater sense of pride in their projects.
So if you need a professional space, a sounding board, or if you just need to get out of the house, here are the office sharing opportunities around town.
