Affordable dedicated desk space, craft beer on tap, and a community of tech startups and freelancers are just some of the reasons why
Techvibes thinks
Project RHINO is the best co-working space in the city.
Located at 73 Bathurst Street (at King), Project RHINO opened its doors in August 2011 and now houses 22 companies.
“When we were crafting this idea we said 'lets create the kind of space that we would have wanted,' and that’s what led to our founder-friendly approach," co-founder Neil Martin told Techvibes.
"There's also the culture aspect. You work hard, you have fun, it's affordable and it opens the doors to a wider array of people."
Martin and his business partner Jeff Howard were working on their first startup in Toronto fresh out of graduating from Queen's University when, "a faded sign in the window of an old building across the street" caught their attention, the article reports.
The co-working space has not been without its struggles, including, at one point, tenants moving out en masse. Within six months, things turned around and Project RHINO now has plans to expand to 5,000 square feet, encompassing the building's entire fourth floor.
"You have to take risks," Martin says in the article. "We decided if we're going to do this, lets do it well. I had this eureka moment where I thought if we're going to run a co-working space it’s not going to be this side project. It’s going to be the best god damned working space in Toronto."
