Why Join NextSpace

The NextSpace Cafe

Here’s the Best Part:

NextSpace members are part of a community of innovators who are building the next generation of the Santa Cruz economy. We work in inspiring surroundings, with inspiring people, smack in the middle of one of the most inspiring cities in the world.

Okay, we hear you saying, what else…?

Turnkey Office Services: NextSpace membership includes a cool place to work, all utilities, all downtown business fees, and wired/wireless high-speed Internet connection. We also offer pay-per-use printing/copying, fax, scanner, shredder, and postage services. Forget about the hassle of setting up an individual office. At NextSpace, all you need to do is walk in the door and get to work.

Looking Big: Our members can use NextSpace as their business address. Members have access to our very hip conference rooms. And our beautifully architected 11,000 square foot facility is a huge step up from working in your home office, garage, or local coffee shop. All of this makes our members look big, a key advantage in a competitive world.

Access to Coaching and Consulting:
Being an entrepreneur, small businessperson, or freelancer is risky. Through strategic partnerships, informal interactions among fellow members, or tailored engagements, NextSpace can provide our members with the expertise and support they need to overcome that risk and make their businesses fly.

Networking and Educational Events:
From Member Happy Hours to monthly professional seminars to roundtable discussions, NextSpace members have plenty of opportunities to learn with and from each other about how to make their businesses more successful.

The NextSpace Investors Forum: Need the capital to take your business to the next level? The NextSpace Investors Forum brings together local entrepreneurs and local angel investors who are committed to building great companies in Santa Cruz. Our members have first crack at pitching to these angels. Got a business plan, a slide deck, or just a really cool idea? Then join NextSpace.

Local Bennies:
NextSpace members get freebies and discounts at lots of locally-owned downtown businesses, including Palace Office Supplies, Todal Fitness, Vinocruz, Lighthouse Bank, the Museum of Art and History, and plenty of others. Want to be part of a vibrant local economy? Then join NextSpace.
