(We will really appreciate if you read through this entire, longish note.)

Thanks to everyone who has coworked at C⁴ Workspace. You’ve seen the value and reaped the benefits of a collaborative, social working environment. Over the past 8 months we have been very successful getting the word out and getting involved in the community by hosting a pretty wide range of events. With the help of many of you we were able to open and launch last June.

Here’s the deal

Rent, phone, Internet and utilities = $3800 a month. C⁴ Workspace has a monthly shortfall of $2000 which the three partners have funded up to now. But this is not about us. Debbie, Perla Escobar and I invested in this idea knowing our investment wouldn’t pay back overnight. We are only the catalyst for this movement in San Antonio.

We’re thrilled that our Full Time Resident desks are right on track. Erik Bosse, Media Justice League, Local 782, DoingMedia, and soon Michael Druck from On Cue Studio are all working at C4 Workspace day to day.

The Community Space usage (paid) is a little ahead of plan; the pro bono usage is about where we expected.

However the Part Time Coworker desk plans which are running about 70% behind plan and Conference Room usage which is 80% behind.

C⁴ Workspace needs you to come and work. For a day or sign up for a monthly Coworker or Resident plan or hold a meeting in the conference room.

How can you help?

In a month if we had…

• 30 Daily Desk visits (about 7 a week) = $600 ($20 each)
• 2 add’l Resident Desk Plans = $560 ($280 each)
• 4 add’l Coworker Desk Plans = $600
• 4 Conference Room bookings = $280
• 6 Community Space Bookings (3 hours each) = $450

…(or any combination of the above) we would meet our monthly expenses.

What will you miss?

(if we can’t make the monthly budget?)

• A downtown address
• A Professional Office
• The possibility of any of the events we’ve hosted over the past 8 months
  • Film Screenings
  • Workshops
  • Beer making
  • Art shows
  • Mixers
• The cheapest, coolest event space in San Antonio
• Connection to an amazingly diverse group of  people

Did you know…

• Parking is free
• Printing is free
• WiFi is free
• Coffee is free
• People will talk with you…and smile

C⁴ Workspace is 10 minutes from…

• The Airport (via 281)
• The Northwest side (IH-10 and 410) (About 5 minutes more during morning and evening rush.)
• The Convention Center
• The Riverwalk
• All of Southtown

We know. We’ve timed it. We’re 15 strolling minutes to The Majestic Theatre, Blue Star Complex and most of the major hotels and downtown corporate offices.

What’s Your Answer?

• Has your business grown lately?
• What is your marketing budget?
• What is the productivity cost of working at home or a coffee shop?
• Where did you meet the last person who had a significant effect on your business?
• How many clients have complimented you on your choice in coffee shops?

Our coworkers express these answers each time they use C4 Workspace.

C⁴ Workspace need your help.

We know the coworking concept is valuable. We think you know that too. If you have coworked at the space you know the value. If you haven’t coworked at the space now is the time to find out.

C⁴ Workspace needs you in the next 30 days and throughout the year. Be more than a visitor (much less a stranger) and become a coworker who is actively invested in one of the most innovative ideas in San Antonio.

Thanks again for your support. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
