I have recieved some great feedback from Alex and Susan, and a few
others, regarding this matter! However, I would love to have some
other date!
What percentage of your coworkers are:
techies (designers, coders, etc.)?
artists?
business professionals?
Thanks -

I'd guess that Gangplank is probably 75% techies, and 12% each of artists and business folks. We skew heavily towards tech due to our core companies all being tech related though.

Any Boomers who may have retired (or been laid off) and are starting up
a new venture? My first paying customer fits the retired mold...as do I.
Or is the mix generally the younger crowd?
I noticed that it is harder for us boomer types to get out of the office
in a box mentality....

Techie: 70%
Writers: 15%
Business, non-tech: 15%
This are really rough numbers, and may overemphasize the tech slightly.

We generally skew younger but we have a few Boomers that roll in and out of our space.

I believe that we "attract" people that are like us, naturally, and because we know them, tell them, network w/them, etc.
As such, ours are mostly biz folks.
We have 1 boomer (took him a while to wrap his head around it though! "what do you do when you need to make a phone call in private?" was the hardest part for him to get! oh, and not having a sec'y like exec. suites:)

I like to classify our members in a couple different ways. One, which
I find to be very valuable, is Service Providers and Service
Demanders. A Service Provider is person/biz who contributes their
service or talent to the space economy like graphic designers, web
developers, various consultants etc. Service Demanders are people/bizs
which contribute projects and cash to the space economy like non-
profits, consumer products, techies etc. I strive to keep a good
balance of both groups to ensure the effectiveness and balance of the
coworking economy.
Best,
Philippe

Re: private phone conversations. We have what was probably a large
closet at one point that has a window looking west. Big enough for a
small table, chair and a coat hook. Sequester yourself if you need
privacy and it's cold outside. ;)

We have a few folks at Colab that could be considered 'boomers' ...
they fit right in though.
Also, we are probably 85% tech/design and the rest is marketing/
business types.
