We Don’t Need No Stinking Leases

Amber Monaco • Jul 24, 2018

Now that so many of our private offices are being snapped up, it’s time to address one of the main questions I receive: how long is the lease?

I get it — it’s a common question. Lease terms must be taken seriously for any company, whether you’re a startup or an established business. Many contracts have strict language about breaking the terms or following rules that don’t make sense.

That’s not what we do at Bridge Space. We know that things are going to happen, like your incredible success, and that’s why we’re dedicated to true flex office space.

Flex office space is the future. 

Your business is going to grow; you’re going to need a bigger space. Your podcast is going to take off; you’ll need more podcasting studio credits. Your training programs are going to be successful; we’re ready to move you to larger rooms to accommodate more people. We have the flexibility to adapt to the growing needs of your business.

The business landscape can change in the blink of an eye. At any moment, you might need to adapt your physical space to match the internal workings of your business. We give you the means to do that without trapping you in a lease that holds you back.

You become a Bridge Space member, not a lease-ee.

Did I just make up a word? Maybe. Do you get what I mean? I hope so.

At Bridge Space, you don’t lease working space; you become a member. You’re not tied down, you’re not inhibited from growing your footprint as you expand your business, and you’re not restricted by clauses, provisos, subsections, or any other Latin term that you don’t really get anyways.

Interestingly, and perhaps relatedly, we believe that when you have a lease, you go in, you do your work, and you leave. We know that coworkers are more likely to collaborate, share what they know, help their fellow workers, contribute to the community, and celebrate everyone else’s success. This is the Bridge Space culture.

We say it every day at Bridge Space: we value collaboration and community over competition . Now does that mean you have to remove your competitive bone when you walk through the door? Not a chance. You wouldn’t be an entrepreneur if you did. But when we remember that the Bridge Space mission is to accelerate entrepreneurs’ success, we recommit to forging a collaborative, peer-to-peer learning environment for our members. And that is worth more than a million leases.

Why is there a Bridge Space membership contract?

Each member is required to sign the Bridge Space membership contract. Our fancy-schmancy lawyers want to make sure that you won’t bring in illegal drugs, download porn, or steal from anyone else in the space.*

We want to make sure you’re going to clean up after yourself and be a good human. #YoMommaDontWorkHere

*Bridge Space does not endorse irresponsible behavior, being a meanie, and/or dangerous life choices.

Becoming a member

Becoming a member is pretty simple. Simply fill out an application form , and I’ll email you. Not only will you love receiving email from me (obvs!), but we can move the membership application process along pretty quickly.

In the fast-paced moving world of business, maintaining and improving team productivity is crucial for achieving your business goals. As we keep rolling into the 2024 season, businesses are seeking innovative ways to enhance their team's efficiency and output. In this blog post, we'll explore doable and actionable tips and tricks to elevate your team's productivity levels, including the benefits of getting offsite for your next team meeting at Bridge Space. Understanding the Importance of Productivity Productivity is more than just getting tasks done—it's about achieving your results in the most efficient manner possible. A productive team not only meets deadlines but also fosters creativity, collaboration, and innovation. By maximizing productivity, businesses can stay ahead of the competition and achieve their goals effectively as a team. Tips for Improving Team Productivity Set Clear Goals and Expectations: Clearly defined and personal goals provide your team with a sense of purpose and direction. Ensure that each team member understands their role in achieving these goals and the expectations associated with their tasks. Encourage Open Communication: Effective communication is the gateway to productivity. Encourage open dialogue within your team, where team members feel comfortable sharing ideas, asking questions, and providing feedback. This fosters collaboration and ensures everyone is on the same page with the project. Provide the Right Tools and Resources: Equip your team with the necessary tools, software, and resources to streamline their workflow. Investing in technology that automates repetitive tasks and improves efficiency can significantly boost your productivity. We all know the struggle of dealing with outdated software as well. Cutting corners can lead to inconsistency and overall counter-productivity! Promote Work-Life Balance: A healthy work-life balance is essential for maintaining productivity and preventing burnout. Encourage your team to prioritize self-care, set boundaries, and take breaks when needed. A refreshed and rejuvenated team is more productive in the long run.
