Made with People - Niche Communities

Coworking spaces all have different ways of impacting and supporting their local communities. When we first came across the coworking brand you are about to discover now, we felt great internal joy within us.

Why? Because they materialized everything we were trying to explain for so long when we talk about the positive impact of coworking on people and cities. Their spaces are the outcome of a deep understanding of their local ecosystems, and what works and what does not.

It's also the result of many encounters, hours, and hours of real conversations with different local communities on how one (and later on two) physical space can support people, and add value to both their professional and personal lives.

It shows how powerful a physical space can become in good times and in harder times.

Let's not say too much, we hope we've opened your appetite enough with this little intro/entrée. Without further ado, let us introduce you to the fascinating story of The Coven.

(if you wish to read their story in the book first, you can find it on page 272.)

Who's behind The Coven?

Alex West Steinman, Erinn Farrell, Bethany Iverson & Liz Giel, met during their previous careers in the advertising world. The quartet came to the realization that the change they were aiming to see in their industry was still far from happening. Determined to make a difference at their own level, they came up with the idea to “build a space that held community first.”
