Top 5 Community Workspaces in Houston
With TechOut Houston now set for spring 2016, we’ve been immersing ourselves in Space City’s unique entrepreneur community. And where’s the best place to find the startups paving the way for future innovation? Community workspaces are a great place to start.
So, what exactly is a community workspace? The community workspace is a unique work environment designed to accommodate tech start-up companies and freelance creatives looking for a place to call home that breaks away from the average humdrum stereotype of a commercial office space. The illustrator can say goodbye to cubicles and fluorescent lighting. Gone are the days of a developer’s incurable frustration from lack of collaborative stimulation. Houston’s co-working communities are changing the way companies and individuals do business by creating a nurturing culture of inspiration and focus.
