Co-Working: Origins and Future, Featuring The Hat Factory & PariSoMa

by Scott Beale on July 21, 2009 · 6 comments

“Co-Working: Origins and Future” is an excerpt from You 2.0, a documentary being made by Joey Daoud about life hacking. The video features two great Coworking spaces in San Francisco, The Hat Factory (the first full-time Coworking space in the world) presented by Eddie Codel and PariSoMa presented by Sean Savage.

Co-Working, that nexus between working at a coffee shop, working at home, and being stuck in an office.

For more info on co-working spaces around the world, check out the Coworking wiki.

If you look closely in the video you’ll see a “Laughing Squid: Paradise Lost” poster by Hugh D’Andrade and a “Laughing Squid 10th Anniversary Party” poster by Joshua Ellingson both behind Sean at PariSoMa.

I remember working for a short while at PariSoma staring straight at those posters each time I’d look above my laptop screen… (hi, sean btw)

I had no idea you worked there or that you knew Sean. The world keeps shrinking.

Thanks for posting Scott. One point of clarification, the Hat Factory was the first ‘full-time’ coworking space. Spiral Muse in the Mission was actually the first place that founder Brad Neuberg hosted coworking 2 days a week. Brad and crew then brought coworking to the Hat Factory in early 2006, where we’ve been doing it ever since.
