When an entrepreneur is starting up, especially when bootstrapping everything themselves, it could get pretty tough and challenging. Working from home may have its perks but it also has some cons. When entrepreneurs get started, they usually don’t understand the process of startups and may face obstacles they find challenging. Working from home in your PJs at your own comfort will not help with that. This is how co-working spaces can begin to benefit an entrepreneur.
There are quite a few co-working spaces and startup hubs in Beirut. Each have their own unique feel, provide different services, and are filled will talented individuals who can benefit entrepreneurs in the short and long term. Besides fighting off loneliness, these working environments are beneficial for entrepreneurs since they form a collaborative community creating the ideal ground for innovation and networking.
The spaces are created to enhance the ability to interact with others. They are places where you may meet brilliant and inspirational entrepreneurs who can help you strategize, share insight, and provide networking opportunities. You can also find writers, developers, designers, or marketing specialists at these spaces who can provide you with their skills. Some co-working spaces constantly have workshops, events, and seminars to help entrepreneurs turn their startups from ideas to reality. Most of them offer affordable rent from daily to monthly contracts with access to necessary office amenities such as Internet, printers, and conference rooms. Every dollar saved is an additional dollar to invest in your startup. Make sure you read about the space, visit them, get a feel of their vibe and see how they could benefit you.
