Greetings!
 As the Business Resource Center (BRC) is nearing completion, we continue to be excited about the possibilities for assisting budding entrepreneurs.
Since the inception of the idea for the BRC, we knew there would be synergy created by having all the resources partners under one roof. One of the synergies I see developing is the ability to have the atmosphere where budding entrepreneurs can come together and "co-work" to creatively craft their business ideas.
The atmosphere will be created by allowing them to work together, share space as needed, and interact with professional resource partners. All this is designed to provide the climate for taking ideas for services and products, and crafting a real business from them.
There is more to come on this exciting BRC synergy possibility. Feel free to send me your ideas on this topic to david.erickosn@angelo.edu. Also see the article here on Co-working.
Best Regards,
Dave Erickson, Director SBDC
