About This Event
We have another exciting event lined up for the August Ultra Light Startups event. Tony Bacigalupo, co-founder of coworking communities New Work City and CooperBricolage, and an active organizer of Jelly in NYC, will talk about coworking. Tony will be joined by Nate Westheimer, founder of BricaBox and currently Entrepreneur in Residence at Rose Tech Ventures, where he manages the new SparkSpace "coworking for startups" space. This talk will cover coworking as part of a societal trend, the value of coworking to the ultra-light entrepreneur, and details of how NY startups can get involved.
