- Who runs Hacker Dojo? - Is Hacker Dojo "for-profit?" - What separates Hacker Dojo from another co-working space in The Valley? (I assume they exist) - If you need $250k, why are you only raising $154k?
People use it for workspace, sure, but I know when I go there, I'm going to socialize as much as I'm going to work, but I'm going to socialize with interesting people. I ended up buying a (very small) company from someone I met there. I've learned a lot from those people.
It's also an event venue for small conferences and technical talks.
But yeah; it's much more 'community space' and much less 'cheap place to rent an office' - I mean, the membership fee is $100/month, which isn't really sustainable with their model for renting desks. (I mean, you could rent cubes for $100/month, I think, but you'd need a cheaper warehouse, and the whole operation would have to be setup to ensure full occupancy.)
Me, I find it's a useful place to meet businesspeople that are also technical. It's been good for me, I think, as I generally don't have a lot of respect for business types, and I regularly meet semi-business types at the dojo who are more technically competent than I am.
Cheers~ :)
I dono. I kinda enjoy seeing my prejudices being upturned. It reminds me that they are just prejudices, and are not to be trusted very far.
You get a downvote button if you have sufficient karma (likely 500, since this has been verified in the past and I haven't heard otherwise.)
You can verify if you were downvoted based on looking at the points assigned to your own post generally based on if it was greyed out.
Contrasting information, too much information, no focus (from a crazy quick glance) on anything but space pics. The founder plaque actually bugged me, because your name will be on the wall while contributor's won't.
My two cents on why I didn't dig in more.
