A Perfect Partnership
Filed under: Announcements, From the Business Side, In The News
Ever since starting IndyHall, it’s been a less than silent dream of ours to grow. Not just IndyHall, not just Philadelphia, but really to take over the world with coworking. It wasn’t until recently, during the massive presence of coworking at SXSW, that we caught the attention of the perfect supporter to really take our coworking empire to the next level.
For the last 3 weeks, since our return from Austin, I’ve been in private negotiations with the global desk share provider Regus. Their widespread reach (400 cities, 70 countries, and thousands of gorgeous facilities) is perfect for our needs to grow. Moreover, we completely align with their understanding of community and their history of creating hip, desirable workspaces that encourage collaboration and creativity by giving each member their own private desk module or office. Why yell across an open loft workspace when you can stay in your office, with your door closed, and call people on your desk phone?
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve sold IndyHall (location and it’s community) for a sum which we cannot disclose at this time.
The acquisition of IndyHall itself is only step 1 of the plan. Since the coworking movement itself is widespread, global, and diverse, we’ve gone ahead and begun negotiations of using the coworking cell-network for a widespread takeover of the global workforce. With the support of the coworking google group, we’re able to leverage all of our recent press to convince the remaining majority of the global workers to leave their full time jobs for positions as independent contractors and freelancers. With everyone working as independents, every desk of every coworking and Regus facility will be utilized 100%, maximizing all of our missions for optimum freelancer opportunities.
We look forward to the future growth of the movement with the support of this new partner. Congratulations Coworking, you’ve finally come into your own!
Happy April Fools to our new visitors, thanks for playing along!!

Congrats Alex! I still can’t believe people in our age group are moving and shaking and making things happen! It’s so very exciting… Keep up the good work! You MUST do an exclusive interview about the sale on the next live Best Damn Tech Show, Period taping…
Regus is really corporate – I know you keep it real, so I assume indyhall will still be indyhall and not the typical Regus stuff I get from amex, which is way corporate & stuffy.
Actually the fact that Regus is paying attention to this speaks highly of them being a smart company.
Congrats guys!
Friday Beers are still allowed right?
Where will I sleep? Go to for beer pounds on Fridays? Keep my shoes? Quite a dilemma…
are ties and shoes required?
Wow. Well, if you think it’s the way to go. I dunno I feel sorta saddened by this.
I wish you guys the best…
Sell out.
April Fools
Wasn’t it obvious that this was an April Fool’s joke?
nice.
I think I am going to go back to engineering. This whole “work for yourself” thing isn’t really working out anyways.

Nice April Fools. That was so metal.
Wouldn’t that be great though… I’d trust in Alex & company to absolutely wag the dog in a relationship like that! Cheers on the delicious 4/1 news!
Nice April Fools joke! Ya got me there for a minute. Fact is a Regus near me wants to check out our space… serious. Competitive research?
Damn. I was really hoping this was true so that I would be rich right now.
