Infographic [Interactive]: Why CoWorking?

In a little over a decade, co-working spaces have become the preferred place for entrepreneurs to get their startups going. Instead of being alone in their home/apartment/garage/friend’s garage, they are surrounded by like minded people pursuing their own dreams and feeling the same pain they are- and sharing successes with others is also great. In Chicago, you’ve got 1871, Catapult, Inspire and host of others. St. Louis has T-Rex, Lab1500, Claim, Nebula and TechArtista, Nashville has the Entrepreneurial Center and Washington D.C. has 1776.

In the spring of 2013, he sailed around the world on a ship with 600 college students and 10 startups, which made him realize that he wants to pursue a career at the intersection of journalism and entrepreneurship. He is an avid traveler, football player (American football, yes), and collector of new ways of thinking.
