Pittsburgh Co-working Survey

100%

Hello there! My name is Tricia Chirumbole. I am a freelance business consultant living in Pittsburgh, who is planning on setting up a co-working space in the area. I am interested in your thoughts and hope that some of you will want to get involved!

Co-working usually involves a diverse group of "indy" professionals, remote workers, and small businesses, working in a communal space that combines the best elements of a coffee shop and a workspace and sharing amenities like wi-fi, desks, a kitchen, meeting spaces, etc.

Examples include: The Affinity Lab (DC) and The Hub (global)

Interested? Email: tricia@investorswithoutborders.net
