Coworking Space in Need of a Makeover

[Joel Bennett]

Our small town coworking space in Pella, IA, entered the Turnstone $25,000 Furniture Makeover contest and made the finals.  Asking for the group's help in the following ways:

1.       If your space also made the finals, please respond so we can support you.  There will be five winners of $25k, so why not make them all coworking spaces! 

2.       We'd appreciate your vote.  My understanding of the rules (however poorly communicated) is that you can only vote once per video, but you can vote for as many videos as you like.  If that is the case, we need a broad group of people voting with no responsibility to vote daily.

 

You can vote by going here and scrolling down to the video you like to vote for (ermm....hrmm.... Veel Hoeden...hrmm) and logging in to vote. About 60 seconds of your time, but a big impact for those on the receiving end of your vote.

I appreciate your support!

the $20 table desks big enough for six people I went to see today.
Going to give it a look now!

Thanks Toni! We're excited, but we have a little of an uphill battle. A
few of the companies in the running are professional marketing firms. A win
against them will take a team effort.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks & God Bless,

Hi Joel,
I put on my headphones while watching your video so as not to disturb
my partner working next to me. Oops. I laughed so hard i ended up
disturbing him anyway, and then could hardly stop laughing when trying
to describe what the words were behind the images he was seeing over
my shoulder...:)
I voted via twitter--best of luck to you!

Hi, Sabrina,

Check in with San or the other folks at Worksnug, the app. Though
the app is broader and includes all kinds of locations, they are very
supportive of Coworking. If you can get a relatinship going it can be
very helpful on both sides.

Just a tip, maybe worth what you paid for it but worth a try. :-)

Tell San I said hi.

Laters,

Jeannine.

Sabrina- Thanks for the vote! Glad it got you laughing...our intent from the
beginning. Good luck in Plymouth!

Hi Jeannine,
I appreciate the tip, and also hearing about your experiences as an
expat doing all that you have been doing. I've been really impressed
and inspired!
Will let you know how it progresses.
Best wishes,
Sabrina

Congratulations so far... that is AMAZING NEWS!! 

Yes, I voted for you as a passionate co-working studio owner. 

Thanks for thinking of the co-working community! 

I guess I missed the deadline and being Canadian, I wonder if there is a version of this contest here!  (I will look into it and report here..) 

I wonder if you would you take a look at the space I am opening June 1st and let me know in this bare bones state if you as a a creative co-worker (design, fine arts, communications) would love the spa-feel we have going on?  

The links with pics are below. Its a bit different than office space services because I add optional programming for community and skill-building integrated into the studio life. I will fully outfit it over time... for now, members bring their workspaces.

PS I laughed SO HARD about the beanbags and the "Hyperbole" comment. 

I actually revered beanbags as the perfect stackable lounge chair. haha rethinking that one!
