So what else is happening?

Well, we’re launching something I’ve been planning for quite a while…

Each month we’ll select one ‘Good Do-er’ to receive a 2 day a week membership for 3 months. Our first recipient is super excited to be starting in May.
We’ll have info on how you can nab yourself a Co-SCHOLARSHIP on the website from May 1st.

We’ve decided on a new mission – to be the best boutique coworking studio in the country and that means great things for you…

We’re hosting Solo Au-Go-Go our solo biz fiesta in August for the Victorian Small Business Festival and thought a practice run might be fun.
