14 Reasons Why Joining a Coworking Space Beats Renting Your Own Private Office Space

Coworking’s Best Friend
Recently posted some photos of some of the various furry friends we’ve had coworking along side us at Conjunctured. I really think more offices should be pet-friendly as it really improves the vibe of the place—gives the place more life and a fun attitude! Austin already is a very pet-friendly city and I’m starting to
