Frequently Asked Questions

What is coworking?

Coworking is a chance for entrepreneurs, industry leaders, remote professionals, and students to work in the same space, on their respective projects.  By sharing office space, bright people with big ambitions can share, coach, and meet others in a way that benefits everyone involved.  If you like to shut the door to your office and hide out all day, this will not be a great environment.  If on the other hand you thrive in an ecosystem of creative and diverse mindsets, professional and social interaction, and intellectual challenge and support, the Lightning Jar coworking space will be a breath of fresh air.

How do I become a member?

We have created a survey and application to fill out, The Lightning Jar's "Contact Us" form.   Once complete, we will meet prospective applicants and determine if this curated space is a good fit for both the applicant, The Lightning Jar's team and the other coworkers.  Space is limited.

Who can join?

Entrepreneurs, remote professionals, students, and creatives are the focus and encouraged to apply!  While the space won’t be the right fit for everyone, we’re making it the best place for those launching new businesses to be surrounded by creative, ambitious, and engaged community members. 

What is the cost?

As ultra low as possible. You can find our membership structure and rates on our Membership page.  Contact Us if you would like more information, or would like to speak with our team about the space and how it can work for you.

Are there private offices?  

Unfortunately, no.  

Are there labs or workshop spaces?

There are no labs, workshops, or art studios.  While we deeply appreciate those resources, we are unable to host those activities due to the space we are in. Let us know if this is something you're interested in, and we will keep you updated on any other projects in the future.

If your space isn’t right for me, are there other spaces?

Not as many as we would like - and that is why we're building this.  If you know of another space people can join, we want to support it!  Let us know and we'll post it here.

What hours will you be able to get into the building?

Our membership packages provide access to the space 24/7/365.  We also offer a Social Membership for after-hours access only for mixers, meet-ups, events, or access to our meeting room for your after-hours team meetings.

We have it...in spades.
