LaunchPad Coworking
Smart Workspace. For rent by the hour.
LaunchPad Coworking is the solution for independent workers and telecommuters seeking camaraderie, low workspace overhead, a chance for collaboration, and darn good coffee. No memberships, no monthly commitments, no secret handshakes. Reserve individual workstations or small meeting rooms by the hour, or just drop in.
Ditch the isolation of your home office. Eradicate corporate cubicle-itis from your life. Avoid coffee shop cacophony. Get your butt in an ergonomic chair and your computer plugged into a nearby outlet — we have plenty. Best of all, collaborate with your fellow independent colleagues from across a broad spectrum of disciplines. Coworking is the new way to work smarter.
LaunchPad Coworking offers all the perks of a well-appointed traditional office combined with the sense of freedom that comes from working at home. Our furniture is ergonomic, our electrical outlets are plentiful, free flat screen monitors abound, and our fiber-optic network is super fast and secure.
There are lots of peripherals to borrow for free or rent real cheap: battery chargers, noise-canceling headphones, graphics tablets, mice and more. We’ll have bonus perks for bulk hour buyers, too.
LaunchPad Coworking also features a cafe on site with light healthy fare, specialty coffee drinks, and carefully selected beer and wine. The café is a great place to take a break, grab a bite, network, or just pop into to get a little work done — the café is open to the public.

Detailed info for the extra-curious
LaunchPad Coworking is part of a growing trend — coworking spaces have sprouted all over the globe from Portland to San Francisco, Seattle to Philly, Toronto to Paris, Halifax to Jerusalem. Accelerated serendipty, a term that grew from the movement, perfectly captures what can happen when smart people work with and around each other, even (especially!) if they come from different backgrounds. Spontaneous collaboration moves ideas forward and coworking is all about inspiring productivity and innovation while fending off procrastination, creative blocks, and isolation.
Started by serial entrepreneur and online guru Julie Gomoll, Launchpad Coworking is an upscale by-the-hour version of an ever shifting coworking model that runs the gamut from informal Jelly sessions (coffee shop gatherings) to anchor tenants renting space together under a monthly lease. With LaunchPad Coworking, you can commit for as long or short of an interval as you like.
