Salt Lake City, UT - July
31, 2009 - CoWorking
is the idea that you can work side by side with other self-employed people and
small startups - a growing trend in our down economy. "But when you are working
alone you tend to lose that creative collaboration, says Drew Tyler, owner and
founder of the Salt Lake CoWorking center, BetaLoft. "At Betaloft, everyone benefits
from the energy that is created," he says.
CoWorking is actually a
new global movement, inspired by these tough times. It's a community of
cafe-like collaboration spaces where developers, freelancers, writers,
designers and independents can make contacts and network with other small
business owners while having access to high-tech facilities and sharing costly
overhead expenses.
"BetaLoft is more than
a great place to work. Itis a space where individuals who recognize the benefits of collaboration
and synergy can be a part of aproductive community. Itʼs a place where people can be more
creative, more effective, learn from othersand be happier . . . the concept of a cooperative work environment,
combined with brilliant people, resultsin a space that promotes creativity, encourages motivation, and
refreshes the mind."
It makes perfect
economical sense in today's economy to share the cost of office
space overhead, and it often feels impossible for small businesses and
freelancers to have the presence of
the 'big boys' unless they unite and combine resources."
BetaLoft also
separates itself from most of the other currently established CoWorking spaces
across the country by offering a
photo and video studio, production editing and a full podcasting and video conferencing solution.
"Having done freelance and corporate video work, I wanted to have a creative space where I could
work with others in the digital media industry and still maintain my
independence," says Tyler. "I wanted
to make sure there was an area inside of BetaLoft where freelancers, podcasters and small businesses
could have access to high quality video equipment for podcasting or web video production. Many
successful freelancers hesitate taking the next step in business growth because
of the cost of maintaining an
office location, and CoWorking allows those same individuals to be more productive, more
professional and more connected."
BetaLoft will be
having a Grand Opening ribbon cutting ceremony with the Salt Lake Chamber of
Commerce at Noon on
Wednesday, August 5th followed by their Open House and TweetUp networking mixer from 5 to 8pm.
Food, drinks and Wi-Fi will be provided and Salt Lake area entrepreneurs and freelancers, or those
hoping to do so, are welcomed and encouraged to come down and try the
facilities for free all day as
part of the celebration.
