# Coworking space

Concept · [Programs and community](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/community)

Also called: coworking, co-working, co-working space, shared office, shared workspace, hot desk, day pass

A shared office where people from different companies rent a desk, a private office or a [meeting room](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/event-venue), often by the month or by the day. [Founders](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) use one to get out of the house and to work near other founders.

**For example:** A [solo founder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) buys a membership at a coworking space, works there three days a week and meets a designer at the coffee machine who later helps with the product.
