Hi all, My name is Lindsay Cunningham and I am currently a junior at Brown University. This past semester myself and three of my friends enrolled in a class entitled EN101 The Entrepreneurial Process. The main assignment in this course was to find/create a viable business that we could hypothetically open and present if a business opportunity exists or not. After much research, we decided that our pretend business would be a co-working space located on the East Side of Providence. In order to prove that this is a viable business opportunity, we are expected to get primary research from potential customers and other existing co-working businesses. Through our research, we have discovered that Rhode Island's IT and Digital Media sector would be a good place to start asking questions of potential customers.  We are looking for responses as to whether or not you feel there is a need for a co-working space in Providence and if so, why?  Hopefully this can spark a discussion on the blog and we can use it as some of our primary research for this project.

     Also if anyone would be willing to answer a few more in-depth question for our team and/or direct us to some people who may also want to help.  These questions will be short and they will mainly ask about if you think there is a need for this kind of space in Providence.  My email address is lindsay_cunningham@brown.edu.  Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.

Lindsay
