Measuring the Success of a Coworking Community

A great set of goals that are universally applicable to anyone looking to bootstrap a coworking community for themselves:

• People would rather come into the coworking space than work at home, even when they have no work to do.
• Successful residents will eventually outgrow the community and need to move out.
• Corporate workers will use the space to jump from being employees to entrepreneurs.
• New businesses are formed based on relationships between residents.
• Residents become evangelists for the space.
• The space becomes a catalyst for other social groups and clubs.
• There is diversity in the range of professions and disciplines practiced by residents.
