Description
Coworking
The Brooklyn Startup Community is on Fire
Why are startups and entrepreneurs setting up camp in Brooklyn in droves like never before?
Who are these passionate, dedicated entrepreneurs and freelancers?
What are some of the challenges they face unique to launching and building startups in Brooklyn?
What unique opportunities are available to them?
What gives them a unique, edgy flavor that separates them from the boroughs?
The investment money is flowing into Brooklyn startups -- where, why and how are Brooklyn startups finding their funding and maximizing opportunities?
At this first Meetup since the relaunch of Brooklyn Venture Community under new organizers, we invite you to meet and get to know the Brooklyn startup community like you never have before.
Management/Organizers from Brooklyn-based co-working spaces throughout the borough, representing various types of coworking models will each give a 5-minute presentation wherein they will introduce us to their startup community, share who their entrepreneurs and freelancers are, highlight startups within their community that are doing incredible things and offer their perspective on how they see the startup community evolving from their unique inside perspective. Where are their entrepreneurs finding opportunities, resources and creative support in Brooklyn?
After the brief presenations, we'll have an informal panel discussion where we'll discuss the Brooklyn startup scene and coworking in Brooklyn.
From Flatbush, to Williamsburg, Greenpoint, to Bed-Stuy, Dumbo and everything in between. Meet the Brooklyn Startup Community!
PRESENTING COWORKING SPACES:
1. Bat Haus CoWorking (Bushwick) - Bat Haus is a work community founded on openness, fun, and a respect for peers. It operates like a clubhouse. Every member helps make decisions about how the space is operated. Knowledge and know-how adds to the a collective pool (meaning that while you do your own work, you have neighbors who are more than happy to share some advice, a little hands-on help, or, if nothing else, conversation and a cup of joe when time allows it). Bat Haus believes that openness and the sharing of resources far outweigh the alternatives.
2. Dumbo Startup Lab (Dumbo) - The DUMBO Startup Lab is a community hub for entrepreneurs, designers and innovators focused on tech & web development providing cowork space, host classes and events in a beautiful 2,300 sq. ft. corner loft in Dumbo.
3. The Yard (Williamsburg) - Private work suites in Williamsburg (overlooking McCarren Park) designed to inspire creativity, collaborations and connections.
4. The Secret Clubhouse (Williamsburg) - a recently launch coworking space in Williamsburg that lives up to its name! Also home of the North Brooklyn Breakfast Club.
**Additional co-working spaces presenting will be announced shortly!
