Feedback we've received (so far) from future CoCreativs...

LOVE CoCreativ :))
Had a meeting there the other day
and our guests were very impressed.
I'll be there again today! It's totally awesome!

Ester Venouziou, LocalShops1
“Thank you for sharing your CoCreativ project with me. I think it is a fantastic concept and completely unique due to the fact you have put all the pieces of the puzzle together. It's not just a shared workspace, but a place to find "community," make connections and share ideas as well as resources. Very well thought out!

My first thought is that, well I already have an office I rent and I just signed the lease... but then my next thought is, I don't have the benefit of being around other entrepreneurs, feeding off that energy, getting to bounce off ideas or make new connections. Which is unfortunate and I feel I may be missing out."

Tami LaManna, Realnet Lending Group
“I love this idea.  Please remember to be mindful of those of us that have full schedules!  I would need 24 hour access to something like this.  Security is also important.”

Heather Rodgers, USF St. Pete Entrepreneurship Student 
“Awesome idea for Tampa.  My “must haves” include Wifi and a decent amount of power outlets.  It would be really cool if the space was inviting – natural light, open, had some collaborative spaces as well as some individual work stations.”

Gina Clifford, Tedx Tampa Bay
“It is a great idea.  I just hope I have enough positive cashflow from my business in time so that I can get a full time desk!”

Justin Narine, AES Consulting 
“I think this is a fantastic idea!  I think it will be a great place to take clients and to network with business owners.”

Kandace Lesher, Prudential Financial 
“Be around other people.  I work at home, so it’s nice to have a different environment once in a while.”

Megan Hendricks, MH Productions 
“Desks are almost literally a dime a dozen.  Atmosphere is hard to find.”

Daniel Scott, USF St Pete Entrepreneurship Program
“A relaxed, creative, warm atmosphere where I can work or meet with clients.  Since I meet with people in Tampa (an hour’s drive from where I live), it would give me an office away from my office.”

Clestine, Divine Discipline 
“Possible business opportunities; get away from my staff and interruptions so I can focus on particular projects.”

Devin Herz, Direct Marketing Concierge 
“Ability to network with like-minded individuals.”

Becky Barnett, Entrepreneur

“Great job.  This sounds like a worthwhile initiative…. Support for the other creative entrepreneurs in the area.”

Charles Armstrong, Spark Labs
“Bring together the entrepreneurial community of Tampa Bay by putting your location on the map.  Host events by prominent speakers.  If you can get a speaker for just one hour everyday on a different subject, even if it’s cyclical with different speakers returning monthly, you add significant value.  This is why people come to TEC Talk and other events – for the added value.  Do this along with coworking and the café concept and it will take off.  Partner with Adrian and his USF incubator, StarTEC, TBTF, and SBDC.  Make CoCreativ the center of Tampa Bay entrepreneurship.”

Jeremy Land, Calypto Media 
“If the services will help me launch my business successfully, then it will be worth it.”

Ryan Memoli, USF
“Looking forward to seeing the end result, which will be the beginning of something exciting for the area.”

Karan Buford, IBM 
“I like brainstorming, and what an awesome place to come and perhaps meet upon someone to give your thoughts power.”

Cheri Erickson, Entrepreneur
“Great idea… please keep me in the loop!  South Tampa NEEDS you.  We need something BETTER than Starbucks.”

Joyce Michele, Entrepreneur
“Convenient place to meet clients; networking with like-minded individuals on new ideas and future business deals.  Must be user-friendly, professional looking, and have access to all current technology.”

Casey McCormick, CMM Partners
“I think these types of things are great ideas, and I’m sure that many will benefit from these types of forums…. I think it’s important to meet with different individuals and converse about ideas to stay relevant in today’s market.”

Nik Panos, Tech Data 
“Provide a nice environment to meet clients outside the office.”

Bernadette Casey, Brandon Chamber of Commerce 
“Conduct meetings without distracting lunch crowd.”

Thomas Szubka, City of Tampa, Parking 
“This is a great idea, I would love to be involved.”

Jeffrey Baird, Volume Enterprises 
“Sounds like a fabulous idea.  It would be great to have various networking and mingling events similar to the Centre Club.”

Carrie Byrd, Entrepreneur
“Awesome idea, love it!!!”
