For Entrepreneurs: Starting a Shared Office Space Business
My partner, David Ulrich and I had been researching co-working spaces both nationally and internationally for some time. We also saw that while modern telecommunications have made it possible for many people to work from anywhere, people are stuck with either working out of a traditional lease office, their home or café’s for limited time periods. We felt there must be a better way and as people get more and more mobile this trend will continue.

Coworking: Reshaping the Traditional Workplace
Posted by WorkBar Boston in News on March 8th, 2010
Coworking is an emerging trend getting noticed all over the world! Featured here in Ai InSite, WorkBar, coworking and community are discussed in “Coworking: Reshaping the Traditional Workplace”
And while some believe that telecommuting can result in higher morale and job satisfaction as well as decreased employee stress and turnover, the millions who telecommute can also be lonely without the sense of community that comes from being around people in an office. Coworking helps to foster that sense of community, says Bill Jacobson, director of WorkBar, a coworking site in Boston.
About Ai InSite
Ai InSite is a product of The Art Institutes, America’s Leader in Creative Education. We wanted a place where we could talk about the issues and trends that affect the industries we teach and the students we teach.
Our programs fit into one of four main areas— design, fashion, culinary, and media arts. We decided to take a good look at those areas and what is happening out in the world where they are concerned. The result is Ai InSite. It’s not enough to just teach art and design; we want to share our knowledge and depth through this innovative project. We tap the expertise, knowledge, and experience of our faculty members and talk to people currently working in the field.

Sharing their thoughts on WorkBar with the world
WorkBar Boston is a a CoWorking space is a collaboration between the operator of the space, and two independent workers who subleased from their space’s former occupant. When the suite was going vacant they approached the owner to vest in the idea of turning the space over into a CoWorking site – successfully. A great strategy I think some others may be able to use.

Network Solutions Blog
Posted by WorkBar Boston in News on January 22nd, 2010
WorkBar shout out from Jonathan Kay on his blog post entitled, “Two Things Every Business Must Have” in Network Solutions.
In an effort to “get back to the basics”, every startup is going to need two things: A domain name & A business phone number. I mean, what a great time it is to be an entrepreneur. There is a ton of opportunity out there and with the boom of co-working, you can now have a unique address, desk to work at, web presence, and a business phone number all for under $200 a month. (For those in the Boston Area, WorkBar is a great co-working option)
Jonathan Kay is the Ambassador of Buzz at Grasshopper, a provider of virtual phone systems. He is extremely passionate about helping / meeting new entrepreneurs and always excited to learn about their unique journey. Find Jonathan on Twitter @GrasshopperBuzz or via email at jkay(at)grasshopper.com
