Being an entrepreneur isn't always the glam life you see from folks on IG.
You're not always working from some bomb beach resort, getting flewed out to speak at conferences, or always receiving influencer packages in the mail because you're that startup chick that everyone loves. The reality is that often you're working long days and nights, forgoing brunch dates with your girls to instead work on pitch decks, and at times you're halfway losing your mind trying to figure out how to increase profits, grow your team, and scale your business.
Working on building the business of your dreams is arguably one of the hardest things ever, but it's even harder when you don't have a dedicated workspace to get your projects done. While yes, you can work from a coffee shop here and there, be honest with yourself. Those lattés, oolong teas, and flaky croissants add up over time. Working from home is also an option, but sometimes trying to be productive from your comfy couch can be tough for one to maintain focus.
One solution that many people are turning to are coworking spaces.
Coworking spaces provide people opportunities to work on their business or other projects, while being surrounded by like-minded people and amazing amenities like fitness classes, free snacks and coffee, and curated events. Many coworking spaces are co-ed, but recently, more spaces are being created dedicated exclusively to women. Currently, there are several coworking spaces designed with a focus on women. We've done the hard part for you and sourced the web for some of the best coworking spaces on the market.
Here are 20 female-focused (with a touch of some POC-focused) coworking spaces created by women, giving us all the opportunity to boss up, network, and grow our businesses.
