Industry Support

In most cases, coworking spaces do not talk about support except when booking internal spaces or hosting internal events. In general, the rest of the support comes from the people. So, coworking spaces are often discussed in splintered terms differentiating different levels and types of support:

• coworking spaces combined with financial support are called incubators,
• coworking spaces combined with business analysis are called consultant firms,
• coworking spaces combined with business events are called event coordinators,
• Coworking spaces combined with visual exhibition are called art galleries,
• Coworking spaces combined with website development are called Webmasters.

Sure these combinatorics are generalities, but the notion of combining multiple disciplines into an impressive array of support is surely a noble cause. RATS pursues this singularity and calls it The Complete Art Experience.

Final Words

A coworking space is simply a type of community. Some would define coworking spaces as simply spaces with rentable pretty chairs and artificial plants used for staring out the window while working in a silo. For me, a coworking space is simply a type of community ideal for progression of business Startups. The benefits to a Startup can be far-reaching or fleeting, depending on location. I think a coworking space should partner with your Startup in a passionate chase toward success using:

• preconceived methodologies for industry, space, talk, meals, events, blogs, scrapbooking, and support;
• preconceived paradigms for steering mindsets, commitments, workflow, confidence, and economics.

I define preconceived as thinking-about-stuff-before something happens. If someone(s) preconceived something for you, this would suggest they cared enough to do so. Caring is hard to find. Finding this would mean you found a community.
