Long Island Coworking Space

As many of you already know, we’re a tech startup from Long Island, NY. We love Long Island. It’s a great place to live and since we’re close to Manhattan, we sort of get the “best of both worlds”. We work out of our own office and we have a lot of fun on a day to day basis; however, sometimes it’s nice to “talk shop” and interact with other companies just like us. We recently took a trip over to the Bay Area and hung out with MobClix in Palo Alto and we had a blast. LI doesn’t have that tech/start-up vibe. We’re jealous, we want it too.

It’s great to interact with other companies just like us. We can learn a lot and we can share a lot as well. There’s a lot of benefits that come out of it, and it’s something that should be explored.

After seeing IgnitionAlley launch and all of the excitement around it, I started to do a little research. Thanks to Wikipedia, Twitter and the Coworking Wiki, I was able to get a lot of information about the concept of “coworking” and how it was beneficial to startups like us and other people who normally work on their own. It’s a great idea and we’d love to have something like that around here.

That being said, we want to hear from anyone who likes the idea of a central startup center in the Long Island area. If there’s interest, we’d definitely like to explore it a bit further.

Let us know, and spread this blog post as much as you can. We really want to reach as many people who this would benefit as possible!
