Why don't you look at a co-working space? You wouldn't need to give up any equity, but you would get access to some of the social aspects you seem to be after.

Why don't you look at a co-working space? You wouldn't need to give up any equity, but you would get access to some of the social aspects you seem to be after. They're probably better than simply working in a public setting like a coffee shop since you'll be mixing with people doing similar things to yourself.
One thing I would say is that you are wise not to ignore your mental health. If you already know you are prone to depression when working alone, make sure you never have to.
Lastly, can you talk to anyone where you sourced the funding? Do they have any mentors etc? They might have some ideas.
- bbcbasic 11y agoGood idea, not only for the social side but to make business connections and get ideas.

- slagfart 11y agoMy startup is in Fintech, and my funders are based in Copenhagen. Despite searching hard for relevant co-working spots there on my behalf, they couldn't offer me anything. The language barrier was an issue with Copenhagen too, so I searched hard in London, but ultimately the cost of living was prohibitive, and I didn't find the 'vibe' I was searching for either. I'm now back in Australia, and will take from your comments that I should search harder for a decent scene domestically.
- igaape 11y agoWhere in Australia are you based?? I've seen a bunch of really awesome coworking spaces in Melbourne and can help you get connected to the people I know.
- tixocloud 11y agoThere are some great co-working places based in Toronto where many folks are working on fintech. What kind of vibe are you looking for?
