Coffee shops, malls, cafes, diners, bars, libraries, Meetups, parks, schools, etc. Build a repertoire, find ways to avoid traffic, crowds, etc. Anywhere you can bring a laptop. Buy a WIFI hotspot. Keep an extra battery. Bring snacks. Variety is the key. They all have advantages/disadvantages. And you'll find entrepreneurs everywhere, not just coworking spaces.
- jotm 13y agoWhat about a coworking space with high speed Internet access, printers/scanners/faxes and other equipment for work, space for hardware design/hacking, a powerful computer for CAD/3D modelling? Would you go there and pay for a membership?
- pjbrunet 13y agoNo. I have a printer and PC at home. I don't see the appeal. Here's a typical coworking space in Austin http://capitalfactory.com/work/coworking/ http://capitalfactory.com/work/coworking/ $350/month doesn't even get you a desk vs. (random Craigslist post) private office with a private bathroom http://austin.craigslist.org/off/4235555193.html http://austin.craigslist.org/off/4235555193.html walking distance from Dell. (No affiliation with either link!) I can see "coworking" for artists/sculptors/printmakers because you have the shared gallery, shared tools, shared materials, shared Home Depot runs, guestbook/email list for the massive wine & cheese party.
