What it does

"I secured the loan, picked out the furniture, made my logo, and just before pulling the trigger I found you online. You asked me if I knew who my first 10 members would be. It was really hard being honest, but I didn't know. So I listened to your advice, and decided not to open a coworking space without building a community first. Guess what, Alex? You were right, you were right, you were right." Before I started Indy Hall , I had nothing. No experience. No money. Almost no network in my city. Today we've created a world-renowned community with hundreds of thriving members. But how? I had to figure out how to turn my weaknesses into community building power-moves . We've been through it…from theindyhallway.com
