What is Coworking?
“Cospace does not manufacture innovation, but we work tirelessly to cultivate an environment where any business can be productive.” http://cospaceatx.com/build-here/
“CoCo is a place where independent workers, small businesses and corporate workgroups can gather to share ideas, team up on projects and get some work done. We’re a business center that gives you an alternative to working from home or meeting at the local coffee shop.” http://cocomsp.com
