For almost 2 years, we had a dedicated location in Tampa Heights / Ybor, but in the Fall of 2011 Ideafield combined forces with Tampa Bay WaVE to host coworking at their new offices in downtown Tampa.

If you are a tech startup founder and need space to develop the next big thing or are a freelancer that is tired of working at home and need more creative / collaborative surroundings, coworking may be for you.

Details:
Pre-Launch hours are Monday – Friday 9:00 – 5:00
401 S. Florida Avenue  in downtown Tampa. 
(Gulf Shores Bank Building – 2nd floor)
Pricing for daily & monthly membership will be announced in January
==================================================

Tampa Bay has some other popular locations for ad-hoc coworking. This includes:

Buddy Brew Coffee –  2020 W. Kennedy Boulevard, Tampa (SoHo)

Tampa Bay Innovation Center (f.k.a. StarTec) – 7887 Bryan Dairy Road (Suite 220),  Largo

We are currently looking for someone to host coworking in the downtown St. Pete area. There are a number of individuals that have expressed interest in supporting a facility in St. Pete and we think that Tampa Bay is certainly big enough to support more than one dedicated coworking location.

There’s always room for more, so if you are an established tech or creative business that has extra office space and a willingness to share, please consider the benefits of hosting coworking at your company.

Feel free to contact IdeaField for more info or guidance.
