I live in SF, so this will be in the SF area, but I may look as far south as Menlo Park if space is good or high demand for further south.
I will try to throw a website together in a week or so, but in the meantime, please post here or shoot me an email at jklemail at gmail . com if you're interested in helping me out or in joining.
I'm trying to work on a project too, so I will need all the help I can get. Right now I am browsing for office spaces in the SF area and Peninsula area in craigslist to see the price ranges and what's available. But it's really just surveying now since it's impossible to decide on it without more feedback and definite interest. But what I'm shooting for is cheap location with good parking and hopefully some windows to sun light. I am estimating 200 sq ft per member (100-150 for actual cube space, depending on single person or group, and extra spaces for walkways, lunch area, bathroom, etc). So I guess once there's more feedback, you guys can help me out in hunting down good locations in either craigslist or other sources. Base on my fuzzy math of 200 sq ft/cube, we should be aiming for ~$1/sq ft (hopefully less, depending on location, etc.) in order get it down to the ~$250/member/month mark. Of course, that's just fuzzy math, I'm sure we'll have to adjust that once we know the actual # of signups and what they want.
Here's my filtered link to craigslist:
SF:

peninsula: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/off/pen?maxAsk=6000&minSqft=2000 http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/off/pen?maxAsk=6000&minSqft=2000
Financial and time wise, I'm looking for someone who have extra money or time or both to partner with me so I don't have to take all the burden. Without 1 or more financial partners, I won't be able to do anything before getting some kind of deposits/initial rentals from early signups.
ps. can you guys up vote this "news" if you are at least interested so I can get a feel of interest level and also it will be ranked higher so more people can see and know about it?
thanks,
john
