In addition to the suggestions about sitting in cafes, I'd suggest you look at places like museums and art galleries. In the UK at least, many have members' rooms. An annual membership plus guest might be in the region of £100-200. Beyond the benefits people have listed with cafes, your money will be going to a good place. Shop around. Some places are great, and with the +1 membership you can even invite a business partner. Or ask your friends to see if someone would benefit from coming along with you.
Far cheaper than typical startup desk-rental.
- chrisper 9y agoAnd what do you do when sitting in cafes? In Switzerland it seems kind of a taboo to just talk up random strangers... The one thing I miss from the US.
- austinjp 9y agoActually in the gallery/museum setting I mention I have talked with plenty of strangers. Maybe that's just me. There is no doubt an air of "who the hell are you?" sometimes but it passes with friendly chat. Plenty of people at the surrounding tables are running small IT or creative startups, it turns out.
