Cowork Rochester

Harry Lin was interviewed by ReadWriteWeb on how collaboration and coworking helped his startup succeed. From the article:

We would come up with a problem or a hurdle we couldn’t get over and we would just shout out, “Hey has anyone ever done this with a library?” and some guy would jump up and say, “Yeah, I’ve done that!” Voila! Problem solved. And that would happen all the time.

Another quote from the article.

If possible, I would not do the “in your basement” or “in your garage by yourself”. Those are the legendary stories we like to hear about, but I think the majority of successful startups has had some kind of coworking environment. … Being with other people who are doing the same thing is hugely beneficial.
