How much will the co working space cost compared to a small office space? What else is on offer in Lausanne that may be an alternative to your coworking space? For me in Leeds the Old Broadcasting House is a great opportunity as a nearly-graduated student to integrate into a thriving creative community, and get coworking! Best of luck to you Stephanie, keep us updated :) One of the important things to consider is the sort of people that will be applying for their share of the coworking space: is the space aimed particularly at freelancers, small design companies that are looking to downsize or upsize, students that have just finished their studies, etc.

What we were/are is highly motivated to make something work and we were able to do just that by sitting around and asking the exact same questions you were asking. The answers are highly personal as the space you create will be highly personal. I mean, isn't that the beauty of this movement? I have a house so we were able to finance using that. Other folks have had people signed up before they signed the lease. It can be a bit of a juggle but you can do it if you are determined to make it happen. Best of luck to you!
