Five people you meet at a co-working space

- By MAINE MANALANSAN

Co-working spaces exist because of the increasing number of millennial­s — and soon, Gen Zs — who jumped from their 9-to-5s to fulfill a life of freelancin­g. While it’s difficult to constantly find clients, manage your day-to-day operations and promote yourself as the best supplier, co-working spaces make it all a bit more manageable by making the hustle look more cute and desirable.

It goes without saying, though: not all co-working spaces are made equally. Internatio­nal franchises often have startups (and a few controvers­ies) taking over their whole floors, while smaller co-working spaces take pride in empowering individual workers and freelancin­g creatives.

Solution Space is one of these co-working spaces. Aside from a great location with tons of food options in the area, it also has very chill atmosphere, highlighte­d by ’70s-inspired furniture and high-speed internet. It can easily fit on Wes Anderson’s or That ’70s Show’s Pinterest boards.

While not all co-working spaces are the same, you can easily spot these five people in all of them. Here are the people we met during our visit to Solution Space.

Solution Space is located at 5F, JCS Building, 119 Dela Rosa Street cor. Castro Street, Legaspi Village, Makati. For more info, check out facebook.com/solutionsp­aceph.

Besides the convenient location, chill atmosphere and fast WiFi, look forward to seeing these people in your next co-working space visit.
