How to know if people out there are looking for a coworking space/ be interested in one?

Hi this is Nikhil from Goa, India. I live in a town called Margao and the nearest coworking space is 45 minutes away. I want to know if there is a need for such a product in my vicinity. Where do i start looking?

I would start a blog and facebook group and invite possible coworkers to discuss this idea. Later you may arrange come togethers just for fun and for a seminer or a project. When you arrange trial meetings don’t make it all free, it is a business not charity, once people get used to not pay it is difficult to make them pay later.

You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “Coworking” group.

If you find leaders of existing groups near your town, you can reach out to them and see what their needs are for their people, and how they would benefit if your space was theirs too.

If you can find at least 3 people who want what you want to make with them and will pay for it and refer people to you who will pay for it, that’s a good sign.

From that, if you can do pre-sales before you open, to cover all costs, that’s a good sign.
