Is Little Rock ready for a coworking space? We're trying to determine that. We're developing an interest survey, which will be posted here as soon as possible.
If you're interested in coworking, or know anyone in the area who might be, please let us know. Please pass the word to all entrepreneurs, freelancers, and telecommuters, such as programmers, designers, artists, photographers, videographers, writers, editors, and anyone else who might want to get out of their home offices and coffee shops and build a cooperative working community.
The founders of Citizen Space in San Francisco identified the following values as central to coworking:
- Collaboration: One of the great benefits of working in a coworking space is that you will meet all sorts of people with all sorts of knowledge.
- Openness: We believe in transparency and openness. In a world where people are free, but ideas are not, only a few benefit. When ideas are free, everyone benefits. Therefore, we encourage open spaces and discussions. Sorry, no NDAs allowed.
- Community: We thrive on connections and mutual support here. It is important that everyone give into as well as benefit from the strong (international) community coworking has become.
- Accessibility: In order to be fully open, we must make the effort to be accessible to all. This means that we endeavor to create both a financially and a physically accessible space. We are committed to this principle and welcome feedback on how we can make it even more accessible.
- Sustainability: Shared spaces are also better for the planet, so we like to take that a little further and make certain our space is very environmentally responsible.
Work with us.
