The "Chicken or Egg" of Opening a Coworking Space","description":"If you\u2019re launching a coworking space and feel like you\u2019re doing everything out of order, welcome to the club. In this episode, I share the \u201cchicken or egg\u201d paradox of starting a space. That messy, exhilarating, and sometimes disorienting phase where you\u2019re working on your vision, talking to brokers, crunching numbers, and trying to figure out what comes first. Whether you\u2019re just getting started or expanding, you\u2019ll hear why feeling uncertain is actually a sign you\u2019re on the right track, and what you do need in place before committing to a lease. What we cover: Why the early stages of launching a coworking space will always feel messy, and why that\u2019s normal. The essential pieces to have in place before you start looking for space. How to work with brokers who understand the coworking model. Balancing your vision, budget, and capital with your ideal product mix. The role of due diligence, test fits, and realistic build-out estimates in avoiding costly mistakes.
