Seed coworking community

A very cool little project in the works through kickstarter

I suspect the Downtown Naysayers will say, well, nay, but for everyone else, this is another optimistic thing happening that is starting to catch on in larger Downtown areas.

Kickstarter is a nice way for a start-up to raise funds, especially since, in this case, it's specifically for furnishings. It's voluntary and you can give as little as $1 or as much as you want.

It's nice to see that they've already met their target.

The Seed Kickstarter campaign began March 27. The goal was to raise $12,000 in 21 days. By April 5, the campaign raised $5,000. As of now, the campaign has raised $13,088.

From the April 11 Spoke blog post:

Nearly a third of those who pledged are outside NW Ohio. People as far away as Seattle, Philadelphia and Los Angeles have donated to the Seed community. 65% of those who pledged have never pledged to a Kickstarter campaign before.

Pledge $5000 or more and they will name their kitchen or conference room after you or your business.
