[bioweek]

Any advice on starting a coworking space in the DC suburbs? Where can I locate cofounders, what skills should they have? How much capital should I expect to need?

I think this is going to be a huge industry in 10 years and I'd love to get in on the ground floor somehow.

Talk to Dave Troy, he founded the Beehive in Baltimore and could fill you in on the details and his experiences so far:

There's an email address on the beehive page or drop me an email and I'll hook you up.

(I work next to, not in, the beehive)

I'd say the coworking wiki is not a bad place to start for reference and to get in touch with folks who have founded spaces themselves:

I haven't personally founded a space, just adopted one ;-)
