After only franchising for 1 year, Venture X has come in number 15 on the list of the best coworking office spaces in the U.S. That’s no easy feat! Read the article below from inc.com to see for yourself!
Coworking office spaces make it ridiculously easy for entrepreneurs today to find an office space.
Back in 2008, when I first started looking for office space for my new startup, the process was insanely difficult. You could either lease or sublease.
The leases were long. Usually they tried to lock me into a multi-year lease. Plus, there were additional expenses, such as furniture, Internet access, and cleaning.
Long leases make hiring a big issue for growing startups. Your office needs can change every six months to a year. So that usually leaves you with two equally bad options. You can either:
- Overpay for too much office space that you’ll (hopefully) grow into.
- Pay for a space you know you’ll probably outgrow before the lease is up.
All of this made life pretty hard for startups.
That was before the rise of coworking spaces.
Now, thanks to the shared office revolution, finding office space is amazingly easy for entrepreneurs. More of these shared workspaces are popping up across the U.S. every day.
I’m going through this process right now. I’ve just started a new company, MobileMonkey, and have been looking for a new office space.
I’ve been blown away with how flexible the month-to-month terms are at these coworking office spaces. While office space is still a huge expense, at least lease duration and office size issues are no longer huge barriers to entry for cash-strapped entrepreneurs.
So where should you work? If you’re looking for your own space now (whether you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, telecommuter, or even just need a great place to work for a day), you might want to consider one of these 23 great coworking spaces in the U.S.
