Happy Birthday Cospace!

One year ago, we signed the lease & opened to doors to Cospace. The idea that had been in formation for more than a few months became a reality and North Austin’s first coworking space was open for business. This week we celebrate the completion of our first year of business.

It’s been a successful year.

We started with three members that first couple of weeks; one year later, we have a member family of more than 30. Craigslist & Ikea were our furniture suppliers of choice. We now enjoy a partnership with Turnstone to provide our members with some of the best office furniture out there. Our community stretches beyond our members, as Meetups and groups of all sizes and interests meet here on a regular basis.

We’ve gathered some thoughts and photos from the past year.

I’m going to walk around with a big, goofy grin all week. It’s been a whole year. I don’t know how I’m going to top 2010. We set the goal of launching this business and making it successful and so far, we’ve succeeded. One of the goals for Cospace, early on, was to make it an intersection of ideas, people, and resources. This grew from the first core message of Cospace, which was “meet here”. We wanted this to be where people came to work, to learn, to meet colleagues, to collaborate, to create, to grow. Cospace grew right alongside our members. Here’s to year two!
