Basements & Garages

Early Internet users occupied basements and garages in fluorescent lights as they built motherboards and argued on newsgroups. Then came normalcy of the web which invaded all homes, bringing users out of the basement and into the family room, kitchen or home office where everyone could check their AOL account or play a shoot ‘em up game. More recently, the Internet has become home to thousands of home-based businesses (and I’m not talking vitamin pyramid schemes) leaving users in quiet home offices full of daily repetition.

Communal Workspaces

Because of this evolution of the web into most American homes and businesses, it is no longer a rare basement nerd in need of congregation, it is thousands of people across the nation who have no human interaction during the day, thus the birth of co-working spaces. Communal workspaces have always existed, but coworking is different in that it is a common location people can come to during the day to plug in their laptop and work amongst other people instead of leasing their own office space or working from home and having conversations with the cat.

No Haphazard Here!

Austin is home of one of the nation’s premiere coworking pioneers, Julie Gomoll who has our attention because Launchpad, the coworking company she founded is no haphazard endeavor, she is creating a comfortable, well thought out space which even has a cafe- this ain’t no converted basement, y’all. The Launchpad site features images of the space which is set to open soon and for those tired of talking to the cat (and the cat talking back), Launchpad is offering launch deals for early adopters.

Support Local Business

As a final note, as with most startups right now, funding is tight and complicated for Launchpad, so we ask that anyone interested in signing up for Launchpad, give a local company your vote of confidence and sign up today for your space- don’t wait.
