Coworking spaces typically come in four options: open workspaces, private workspaces, industry-specific workspaces, and venture/incubator workspaces targeted toward startups. Here's a quick rundown: Open workspaces Open workspaces and coworking go hand-in-hand. You'll have a hot desk (temporary desk space) in open workspaces, but you'll share your space and common areas with coworking members from different companies. These shared workspaces are a fantastic option for remote work. Private workspaces Private workspaces come with dedicated desk space you can reserve for a period of time. They’re usually located in a shared office or custom suite. They're usually built specifically for large teams, and members from one employer will share the room or a combination of workspace areas that the company rents or leases. These workspaces are common for small businesses and large corporations alike. Industry-specific Industry-specific coworking spaces offer networking opportunities and the chance to share experiences and advice. Industry-specific workspaces often cater to creative professions, including artists and graphic designers. These targeted workspaces can be a combination of private and open workspaces, and they encourage collaboration, brainstorming, and the constant sharing of ideas and experiences. Venture/incubator workspaces Incubator providers, often referred to as venture capital workspaces, are highly selective coworking spaces. The purpose of venture capital spaces is to attract companies while providing them with the support they need in their growth phases. Venture firms may reduce rent or capital in exchange for equity in a company while providing a flexible workspace.
