Question 1

What is Coworking?

Answer

Coworking is a global movement and a cornerstone in how we work. As we move away from the tradtional 9 to 5 routine and embrace more freedom, our office needs have changed. The Colab offers a place for entrepreneurs, freelancers, small businesses and remote employees an opportunity to work, collaborate, play and connect. Coworking is more than a desk, but a community which you would not find by working at home or in a coffee shop.

Question 2

Is Coworking for me?

Answer

Of course it is! Coworking allows you to be selective about your work environment, the hours that you work and the coworkers you surround yourself with. We offer memberships to fit your needs and 24/7 access so that you can get first chair on a powder day, but also submit that proposal by midnight.

Who is the main point of contact?

Answer
