Try VenturaPad to have access to the finest co-working spaces in Marin County

While there are advantages to working from home, it may also be stressful and mentally taxing. You could find yourself working nonstop because you can't seem to distinguish between work and home. And that is why Co-working spaces in Marin County are becoming more and more popular because of the many benefits they provide. You get all the advantages of having your own place plus extra convenience when you rent a conference room. Meeting rooms will be prepared and ready for use, so you won't need to worry about setting up equipment. All you have to do is get there and get to work. The following are some of the notable benefits of choosing month to month office rental:

·         A variety of modern amenities are provided in meeting rooms to help you have more effective meetings.  Professional meeting rooms must have a projector, whiteboard, screens, printer, table, and seats available. Using this for brainstorming sessions or presentations can be quite beneficial. In situations where you need to quickly scribble down thoughts, take notes, or create a visual brainstorm, whiteboards and markers come in handy.

Additionally, a lot of meeting rooms have Wi-Fi and other audio-visual technology, making it easy to conduct online meetings or video conferences.

Additionally, you have the option to add extras like catering. Your team will function more efficiently and your meetings will go more smoothly if all of these resources are easily accessible.

·         You may enjoy all the benefits of owning a meeting room without incurring additional costs when you rent one. Businesses who lack the capacity or funds for a conference room of their own may find that renting these areas is a perfect alternative. A meeting space can be rented for as little as an hour, which is ideal for impromptu gatherings. Alternatively, you can rent the area for an entire workday in case you need to organize a lengthier meeting.

When renting a conference room, you usually have access to the space, furniture, A/V equipment, and internet. If your team needs to hold regular meetings, this might be a crucial factor to take into account because it can save you time and money by removing the need to set them up and cover their maintenance.

Moreover, planning a meeting might be difficult, particularly if there are a lot of attendees. The burden of organizing a meeting is eliminated when you rent a meeting space. You can delegate the logistics to someone else and concentrate on the current work at hand.

Thus, there's no need to search any more if you're searching for Co-working spaces in Marin County.
VenturePad provides elegant conference spaces equipped with cutting-edge technology to guarantee productive meetings for its clients. You can rent a private office for a day, an hour, or even go for month to month office rental, or even a week, it completely depends on your needs and preferences.

VenturePad Launch Announcement - 5 Year Space Lease Secured in downtown San Rafael

VenturePad - a premier cowork community and business incubator - announces its formation, its founding team, and a signed 5 year lease for downtown office space in San Rafael CA.

VenturePad addresses an immediate and substantial need in Marin County (CA) for affordable, accessible and professional coworking space and entrepreneur support services. Slated to be Marin County’s premier coworking community and impact enterprise incubator, VenturePad will cultivate, support and connect entrepreneurs, freelancers, creatives, and purpose-driven people. VP will provide this in a conveniently located shared working office space in downtown San Rafael. After a build-out this Winter of the space, services and advisor network, VenturePad (VP) opens its doors in Q1, 2017.

VP has secured a 5 year lease for a street level accessible, open office layout at 1020 B Street, between 4th and 5th Streets, in a Class A office building. Built to house over 120 solopreneurs, start-ups, freelancers, creatives, and telecommuters, VenturePad initially will have 4000 square feet of productive, open space full of natural light with 16' high ceilings, private suites, lounges, open desks, meeting rooms, kitchen and a central café in a premium location. VP will have a comprehensive training and coaching program, as well as a wrap around “C-suite team” of professional service providers that will offer affordable, integrated, specialized skills such as IP protection, contracts writing and review, financial modeling, fundraising, software development, branding, website creation and management, revenue generation and more.

Filling A Market Need

As of late 2016 there are no coworking/incubator full service spaces in Marin. The existing cowork spaces have a more limited focus, lack easy access (located far from I-101) or are expensive ad hoc temporary sublets within other offices that target high end solopreneurs and don’t focus on building a community. Marin lost its two business incubators in 2015 due mainly to a lack of perspective clients locally and the lack of a sustainable revenue model. These two entities, to their credit, (Venture Greenhouse and Renaissance Center) supported/launched over 350 businesses and supported over 1000 entrepreneurs from 2000-2015, so in their sudden absence they left a large void and significant unmet needs.

Lessons learned, VenturePad is a privately funded for-profit Benefit Corporation with an earned income revenue model. It is also an inclusive model that casts a wide net across Marin. The addressable market includes: 

• 39,000 work at home individuals in Marin

• 6,000 incorporated entities with 4 employees or less

• Commuters to San Francisco, Sonoma, East Bay and Silicon Valley (65,000 daily, a percentage of whom would prefer to work closer to home part of the week)

• 4200 employed by Marin nonprofits

• Commuters going in and out of the county

• Targeted impact sectors include: Clean Energy, Healthy Food and Ag, Mobility, Alternative Transportation Solutions, Human Potential and Development, Life Sciences, Wellness and Health, Seniors, Affordable Housing solutions, Natural Resources, Lifelong Education and EdTech. All sectors are welcomed.

Coworking is a high growth next gen model. Sonoma County has 6 successful coworking facilities that are fully subscribed (100-150 members each). San Francisco and the East Bay have dozens of large cowork spaces (WeWork, EcoSystm, iHUBs) that are thriving.

An idea whose time has come:  A full service, accessible, cowork community within a shared commercial office space that acts as a hub for entrepreneurship in Marin and is tied to the greater North Bay and Bay Area innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
