Okay, early adopters — here’s your chance to help us get LaunchPad Coworking open and thriving as a new hub for business in Austin.
In our last post, we explored the idea of VIP memberships and some kind of profit-sharing program. We got a lot of good feedback via email, Twitter, and in the comments. A bunch of you sent us some really good, thoughtful ideas, too. We learned that:
- The VIP concept sounds too stuffy.
- Profit-sharing doesn’t appeal to many of you.
- You really like the idea of pre-purchasing time.
- Cafe discounts are a great idea.
Thanks for all the ideas! We’ve come up with a great pre-launch deal for you. LaunchPad is now pre-selling time at a huge discount and including cafe discounts. The deal will only be good through March 17 (after SXSWi), so please spread the word!
A few specifics on the deal:
- Buy as many months or bulk hour packages as you want.
- If you buy a monthly membership and go over the number of hours, additional hours are charged at the same rate as your package’s hourly rate.
- Cafe discount includes all cafe food and drink, i.e., everything but coffee beans and swag.
- Membership starts when you actually use the space (no earlier!).
- NO RISK. All purchases subject to FULL REFUND in the unlikely event LaunchPad Coworking doesn’t open.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be rolling out other unique ways you can be involved in the opening of LaunchPad Coworking. If you have questions you can send an email to EarlyAdopter@launchpadcoworking.com.
Let us know what you think!

Great Julie – I’m so happy to see that you are finding a potential path -I’m rooting for you from Germany. I hope to see you during SXSW though!
