It’s no secret that Austin has been pegged as one of the next biggest boom towns. Austin is home to many technology companies and is a center for growth in this industry. The city is also known to have a friendly atmosphere for entrepreneurs and growing businesses. Many start-ups, freelancers and consultants work from home to keep costs low. While working from home or the corner coffee shop has its perks, sometimes the distractions and isolation of working solo can slow workflow. There are several coworking spaces and communities in Austin to help you get out of that pajama-wearing rut or help you connect with other like-minded companies and people.
About Coworking
The coworking options in Austin are diverse, from spaces where you can simply rent a desk or room to work to entire communities centered around shared themes, ideas or industries. For example, Posh Coworking is a community for women, while Capital Factory is geared toward startups. Someone may choose to use a coworking space so they have a private office space to work in quiet or to have access to a large conference room where they can meet with clients they may wish to impress. The variety of coworking spaces in Austin also means that you should be able to find a location that works for you. The benefits of coworking include: networking, mentoring/ mentorship opportunities, finding project collaborators, or simply someone to have lunch with or go to an after work happy hour with. Becoming a part of a coworking community can help lead to more sales and help you connect with likeminded people.
