What is a coworking?

Coworking is a type of shared workspace. It allows professionals, freelancers, startups, and small companies to work in the same environment, while maintaining their independence!

These spaces offer a flexible solution that combines the advantage of a traditional office with the autonomy of working on your own. The idea stems from the need to have a place where you can work without the isolation of home or the chaos of cafes, but at the same time without the high costs of private offices!

When was the first coworking born?

The concept of coworking was born in San Francisco in 2005 thanks to Brad Neuberg.

His goal was to combine the freedom and flexibility of freelancing with the benefits of a traditional work environment. His project was immediately successful and coworking quickly spread all over the world.

The big difference brought by coworking has been the emphasis on community building as they have fostered networking and mutual support among professionals. This has changed the way millions of people work, making coworking a preferred choice for freelancers, startups, and companies looking for flexibility and connection.

What are the benefits of coworking?

Coworking is not limited to providing a desk and Wi-Fi. Coworking spaces offer numerous advantages:

• Flexibility: You can rent a workspace for a day, a week, or multiple months, depending on your needs.
• Networking: Being surrounded by professionals from different industries, you can develop collaborations, network, and share expertise.
• Reduced costs: Compared to renting a traditional office, coworking spaces offer more accessible and personalized packages.
• Amenities: Many spaces include meeting rooms, educational events, relaxation areas, and in some cases, access to professional consultations.
