A coworker just pointed out QWIRK, a location where you can rent office space or desk space really, by the day, or month and even acquire dedicated desk space on a monthly basis for just $250/mo. This solves a great predicament for anyone who works from home, or travels and needs a more work like atmosphere then the local Starbucks, etc. The place is in Columbus, I don’t know them, but I thought I would give them a plug for a few reasons.
- Anyone know any places like this in New England, New Hampshire, Seacoast region?
- I want something like this to succeed, gain popularity, and hopefully be more evenly distributed throughout the U.S.
The concept is simple but genius. By offering come and go office space with what professionals need, you give people who may often work alone a chance to brainstorm and network. It’s something that when I used to consult, I lacked but needed. It also gives you a chance to have an office that your customers can come to without you needing to worry about those dishes from last night’s dinner, or if the kids are killing zombies in the living room.
Good luck QWIRK!
Hi Mike,
This is Neal from Qwirk in Columbus. Thanks a ton for the shout out! Coworking is truly on the rise across the US, and we’re stoked to bring the concept/asset to Columbus. If anyone in your area is looking to open a space, Bonny (my wife and brains of our operation) and I would be more than happy to share our experiences and learned insights. Cheers!
There are coworking spaces all over the place… here in the San Francisco bay area there are several, and we’re starting a new one in the Silicon Valley… I don’t know about New England but I’d bet it’s out there. Put a city name and “coworking” into Google?
Thanks for the feedback! A real quick search seemed to yield one result in area. Now I don’t go walking Portsmouth or Dover, etc enough to know every street. It seems to me though that if they are out there, they might need a little more exposure, or I’m so far out of the loop now that I’m a lost cause.
