Are you freelancing at home in your jim-jams? Or are you a remote worker talking to your cat more than your co-workers? Maybe you’re an entrepreneur trying to sound professional in a loud coffee shop? Whichever you are, it’s time to get out of the house, walk past your local coffee shop and accelerate your business at a coworking desk at Hive. To put it simply, Hive = higher success for your startup.
Hive is a coworking space in Dhanmondi that caters to individuals, freelancers, and small teams. It is, tailored to foster innovation and act as a platform for intellectual exchanges, idea generation, and collaboration. Industry insiders point to some of the key factors producing success in coworking spaces:
Coexist and assist
The cooperative environment enables meaningful work. Unlike traditional offices, co-working spaces consist of members belonging to a broad spectrum of organizations, ventures, and projects. As this diverse environment produces little direct competition or internal politics, the norm becomes to coexist and assist one another. What’s more, working among people engaged in various kinds of work and possessing a diverse array of skills can spark new ideas, opportunities, and partnerships. It also serves to make one’s own work identity stronger, enabling individuals to find more meaning in their work, ultimately increasing their productivity.
Greater Independence
Co-working spaces facilitate a greater level of independence and control. For example, with Hive’s flexible hours, people don’t have to adhere to the limiting 9-5 schedule. Instead, one can work longer hours throughout the if there’s a deadline that has to be met, or one can take a long break in the middle of the day to hit the gym when the workload eases up. Hive’s Silent Zone also allows people to work in quieter areas for those who prefer not to have any outside noise in their work environment, or in a more collaborative space with shared tables where they can interact and share ideas with others.
Be Part of a Community
Startups working at Hive can feel like they’re part of a community. Establishing new connections with others are a big reason why people love to work in communal spaces, as opposed to working from home or in traditional office spaces. At an incubator such as Hive, freelancers, and tech entrepreneurs can reach higher levels of success by drawing on the strengths, motivations, and support provided by this community. Each co-working space has its own vibe, and the core team of each space goes to great lengths to cultivate a unique experience that meets the needs of their respective members.
Leverage the Costs and Benefits of a Co-working Space
Having a full-fledged office space without spending a fortune on rent can act as a lifesaver for freelancers and startups with limited starting capital. Not having to plan or budget for the unexpected growth of your organization, co-working spaces provide you with the flexibility to scale your operations upwards, instantaneously. For example, at Hive, there are daily, weekly and monthly rates, so participants have the power to expand their teams at a moment’s notice, allowing them to focus on what really matters.
Leverage Networking
One of the greatest selling points of co-working spaces like Hive is being able to leverage the existing resources and connections necessary for your startup to expand and grow. At Hive, you can:
• Meet the people working at the heart of the startup scene.
• Network with the right people and build mutually prosperous relationships.
• Have the first crack at new opportunities.
Hosting or Participating in Events
Another powerful tool available to members of a co-working space is being able to host or participate in events at Hive. Utilizing the space for events enables flexibility and convenience, saving the time spent in Dhaka traffic. As a great venue for small to medium sized events, Hive is the perfect place to address an audience on a personal level, letting people get their ideas out there and be heard, all the while networking with the right people.
Industry insiders love co-working spaces for their well-designed work environment and the well-crafted work experience they offer. At Hive, the founders believe that setting up shop in a co-working space will empower all freelancers and entrepreneurs, enabling them to unlock their true potential.
