Hi everyone
Im Bret and have known Marc for years.
Marc, great to see you start the site you have been talking about. Definately interested in becoming an investor. Hope you don't mind me directing some friends to the site at this point in time...I told them about your idea some months back and they were very keen to see it in the start up phase.
Cheers

Hello, Alex here...
Etchgroup.com has started and looking for a place in the next 6 months... this place looks tops.
Moving house at the moment so a little offline, but keen to talk more.
Cheers, Alex

Hi All,
I'm Nick and I've also known Marc for many years.
I work from a home based office and can see enormous benefits in being able to co-work within a model such as Marc has suggested.
I know a number of other home based workers who are looking to re-balance the 'work from home:social interaction' equation and a co-working location would be ideal.Nick.

Hi there, Terry here. I've known Harro for many years. I contract and work predominantly from home but also from client premises. It does get lonely and unproductive from home sometimes but I'm not a fan of wasted travel time. I'd be a casual user if any. I think this could work well once critical mass is achieved ... that's the hard part.

Hi Terry,
"I'm not a fan of wasted travel time"
Agreed, which is why this place will be no more than 15 mins drive from my home and I would only expect members to also be within a similar distance. Longer term my hope is that there is a network of workspaces in a ring around the CBD, with a couple of spaces in the CBD. That way those who like the idea of coworking are hopefully not much more than a 15 min drive from home and the decision as to whether to go into the office or stay at home for the day is not affected by the travel issue.
"could work well once critical mass is achieved ... that's the hard part."
Agreed, and the more people I talk to the more I think this could fill up quicker than I previously thought. I think there are thousands of potential clients and we only need 20 or 30, with a mix or permanents and casuals, to make this work. I have a few ideas on how to get word out, then the quality of the "product" will almost sell itself. I'll share more of those ideas soon.
