Do you think they can figure out a way to still be around in ten years? It's so much better than traditional offices that it'd be a shame to lose it. Hopefully

It's so much better than traditional offices that it'd be a shame to lose it. Hopefully there's a sustainable business model.
What would you say are the pros/cons of moving to your new office?
The West Loop WeWork is nice because it's about a 3 minute walk from the redline subway to the front door. That matters during winter -- Chicago winters blow. So I was wondering if you managed to get a spot close to public transit too. (And if so, how'd it end up ~cheaper than WeWork? Prime locations tend to come at a premium.)
- tptacek 9y agoWe're still in Fulton Market, on May and Hubbard, a short walk from the Blue Line on Grand. I'm not entirely sure how we got this office in this specific location, but I think it had to do with the building itself being on the market. I should be clear: it's hard to compete with WeWork for the 4 people we have in this office (I think we pay slightly less here than we'd pay for 4x WeWork berths) --- but having our own office is a phenomenally better deal as we hire more people, since we'll be paying the same amount of money in rent but can easily park another 10 people in this space comfortably. So I should clarify that I think WeWork is an amazing deal for very small companies and, in particular, for solo worker locations. Part of the problem with WeWork is that it's precipitously less of a good deal as your company grows.
