Springstage starts “First Friday Jelly” Coworking

November 20, 2008

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey.  Not only do you need to overcome the deamons that keep telling you your venture will fail, you also need to keep the creative juices flowing to get your product and business plan worked out.  While you’re trying to overcome all sorts of challenges, it can be good to hang out with like-minded individuals.  Even if you’re inventing a new kitchen gadget and you’re chatting it up with someone solving commuting problems, you’re both faced with the typical issues of the startup venture.

Increasingly, there are places where you can get work done and find like-minded soles.  I talked about one such place recently when I interviewed Brian Russell of Carrboro Creative Coworking.  But now Springstage, the project that is launching startup blogs accross the country — including this one, is offering a new opportunity for coworking.  OK, for now its only in Dallas, but its a start and part of a trend.

So every Friday, starting on December 5th, bring your laptop and go work in an environment with other entrepreneurs.  No way to know who will be there, who you may meet and what influence it may have on your venture.  You just have to try it.  Its hosted by Alexander Muse and Big in Japan.  More details here.

In case you’re wondering… I don’t know why its called a “Jelly”, but lets hope there’s free jelly donuts!
