Wow, talk about an overwhelming response. Everyone from Om Malik to Rags Gupta to Cafe Bricolage picked up on my blog posting about new entrepreneurial space here in Manhattan and there has been incredible interest from folks who want to reserve their space early (to garauntee themselves a spot) to people who want to help fund/promote/collaborate on the project. Needless to say, if you contacted me within the last 24 hours and I haven’t gotten back to you yet, hang tight, as I’m still going through my email and trying to get back to everyone. Tomorrow evening is when I’ll be doing most of the reach-out.

Yesterday, upon my update of the original posting, I alluded to a FAQ that would be launched regarding this endeavor. I am going to postpone that FAQ until this coming week as I’m going to have a few more details hashed out. However, of the details I can release now, here they are:

1. The space is not named yet, but I’ve got a working name that is in use
2. There is a chance that there will be multiple locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn
3. There will be a membership fee and a screening process
4. We are open to companies in the technology and digital media space
5. There will be a monthly lecture series that may tie into darrenSalon or other conversations
6. Members of this program will be getting more than space, but will be getting an entire support network (more to come)
7. This will be an extremely flexible program and even if you have office space elsewhere, this may be beneficial to you
8. The price isn’t going to be rock bottom cheap, nor, expensive – it will be fair and for early stage entrepreneurs
9. More to come… stay tuned this week

I am so excited to see the entrepreneurial scene thriving here in Manhattan… it is certainly here, lets harness it and collaborate with each other for the future.
