SparkSpace featured on Tech Confidential

Posted on July 9, 2008 by Nate Westheimer

One of the greatest benefits of my new job as EIR for Rose Tech Ventures is working in the soon-to-open “startup coworking” space called “SparkSpace.”

It’s a great place to work and colllaborate with other entrepreneurs.

Recently, Mary Kathleen Flynn, of TheDeal.com’s Tech Confidential, came by our space, took a tour, and interviewed David Rose about the space. She also got to chat with some of the residents, like Alex Baydin, CEO of PerformLine, Paul Sciabica, Director of the New York Angels, and Josh Green, CEO of Panjiva.

Soon, we’ll have an “official” launch of SparkSpace with a proper party and all; however, we’re already showing the space to interested startups and taking applications. For more information, visit rose.vc/sparkspace and fill out an application.

If you’d like to schedule a time to check out the space, contact me and we can set that up too.

Hope to see you at SparkSpace!

    Nate – How does the price of this type of office space compare to other space?

    Great question!

    The Incubator at RTV is for *startups only.* So, unlike other spaces,
    everyone around you is pretty much going through the same thing,
    although working on different projects.

    This allows us to support startups uniquely. Our Free Lunch Fridays,
    for example, have guests speaking specifically to startups about
    starting up!

    Nate- Thanks for getting back…so this space is available for startups that
    are investments of RTV only or can a non-investment startup utilize this
    space?

    I know you've got to be ridiculously busy but I'd love to chat phone/skype
    sometime about your BricaBox & EIR experience. I'm trying to blaze a similar
    path… Cheers.

    Ahh, another good question.

    It's for all startups.

    At the moment, we're about 1/3 RTV funded startups and 2/3 unfunded or
    funded-by-others.
