"Revolutionized" is a frequently-abused superlative, but they have made some significant improvements to the coworking space model. In NYC, they have multiple locations. You can pay for membership and use whichever space is convenient for you. Their facilities are great. They have some nice perks, ranging from minor expected conveniences (WiFi, copy room, kitchen, etc.), to silly hipster nonsense (who the hell actually likes kombucha enough to keep it on tap?), to things they do better than others (mail room, easily-scheduled conference rooms, exceptional and constant cleaning). They also allow businesses to scale up by offering private mini-offices inside the larger coworking space, which is a nice place to call home while you transition from a two-person moonshot to a twelve-person startup. They didn't invent anything new, but they do it really well, conveniently, and with multiple locations so that you can deal with one company in multiple geographic locations. I don't know if that counts as revolutionary, but no one else does it that well.
- gtirloni 7y agoThanks for your insights. Although my question sounds a bit sarcastic, I wasn't really sure what made them different. Looks like they got something there with the flexibility and quality.
