LaPorte Native Aims to Unite LaPorte County Tech and Creative Community through Coworking Space

LA PORTE, Ind. - Oct. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- A coworking space allows freelancers, entrepreneurs, and others who might not have traditional office space available, the opportunity to share office space with people in similar situations.  There are currently no options available in LaPorte County for anyone interested in using a coworking space with the closest option being in downtown Valparaiso.

Not only does a coworking space offer facilities that might not otherwise be available, but it also fosters a sense of community among its members.  Another benefit of a coworking space is the collaboration inspired by being around so many like-minded people with the same entrepreneurial spirit and drive that caused them to go a different route than a traditional job in the first place.  This, coupled with access to community amenities like a shared conference room, mail service, and other perks not found in coffee shops or home offices, helps nurture the small business owner or entrepreneur with an idea, but not a lot of capital, and help them grow into valuable businesses in the community.

J.D. Flynn is currently working with Eric Zosso, owner of Zoseco Coworking in Valparaiso, to open a coworking space in Downtown LaPorte.  Open Door Coworking will be available in the coming weeks and is currently accepting new members who want to get in the door as soon as it opens.

He also plans on utilizing the space during non-peak business hours for classes, meetups, and programs that will benefit the community overall.
