You've got vacant space, and you're weighing whether to run coworking yourself or bring in an operator. Before you decide, you need a clear picture of what running a good space really takes.

In this episode, Launch Workplaces CEO Mike Kriel walks building owners through everything that sits behind a well-run coworking center: the technology backbone, the software, the right person on the floor, the community and events, the day-to-day nuts and bolts, and the marketing it takes to keep the space full. He also explains why the best operators make all of it look easy, and why that should make an owner more cautious, not more confident.

For Launch, it takes more than 240 tasks and 90 days just to open a single location. Going in eyes wide open is the whole point.
