Hi all. 

We've been offering home-grown entrepreneurship workshops (like this one: http://www.theskillery.com/introduction-to-entrepreneurship/) at our coworking space for most of the last year. I'm wondering if any of you would like to offer this sort of workshop at your space, but maybe you don't have the resources/time/etc. to pull it together... is that you? 

If so, would you be willing to chat for a few minutes? Phone, Skype, or even email? No sales pitch - promise. Just interested in learning from other owner/operators who may be noodling this sort of thing. We'd love to make the curriculum and course materials available for others to offer within their communities… so we're interested in learning more. 

Anyone willing to chat? If so, let me know! Many thanks, in advance. 
-Matt

I'd be interested in adding this to the freelancer curriculum we've been working on and delivering and develop the source materials as an open project.

Matt,

We'd be also interested if you're planning a road trip for this.

We have a bunch of typically bite-size events (http://officedivvy.com/classes/), and it would interesting to add something like this what we have.

Best,

Ky Ekinci

Thanks to all that have replied, here and off-group. I'm extremely grateful. 

A few of you have asked for a bit more info about the programming we've offered in the past… 

We’ve been offering classes and workshops at The Skillery for a few years. Some are taught by outside experts - on topics like "Intro to Google Analytics", or an upcoming working called "Insurance for the Creative Entrepreneur" - and some are developed in-house and taught by me. We've developed a one-day “Introduction to Entrepreneurship” workshop, but we've also offered more intensive courses that last several weeks (like a recent nine-week business development course aimed at food entrepreneurs.) In the process, we’ve developed curriculum, course materials, and other resources that could (potentially) be used to offer similar programming at other locations. We’ve really enjoyed offering this programming, and we think other spaces might enjoy doing so, as well. So we're exploring. 

Happy to chat with anyone who is interested in learning/sharing more… just give a shout. 

Many thanks!

I was just looking for a list of online resources/classes. Our space is called Coworking Plus. The Plus stands for things like accelerator classes and courses.

Hi Matt,

We may be interested and learning more.  Our incubator is in renovations now but we are starting to build material and class ideas.

Thank you,

Hi Matt,

We've been looking at what we could offer and would love to see what you've presented. We keep hearing that our city and county Eco. Dev. groups are working on something, but they're going to be taking a long time before they have anything ready. We'd rather not wait.

Hey Matt,

I run a coworking space out of South India and I have been deeply interested in an entrepreneurship program at my space. It may be pre-accelerator or accelerator, whichever ways, I would love to talk further! I know I am half way around the world but it sure wouldn't hurt to have a quick chat I suppose. Let me know your thoughts!

Cheers
Raghu
