like owen points out above, i think this conversation has alot in common with the conversation about co-working environments. the cambridge innovation lab, for example, not only provides space and support services to members, but also has been selected by a VC firm to manage their IT fund. and, like josh pointed out as well, the benefit is not just the money, but also the culture.

I am very interested in being a part of this conversation. I live in Portland now, but am in Providence bunches, and a flexible workspace could be a great way to stay connected. Especially with the surprising dearth of hot spots in Providence.

And, I've been thinking about the possibility of starting a place like this. Keep me in the loop.
