Doing your internship at a coworking space? What is it? What tasks do you perform? And why is a coworking space such a good place to do your internship?

It is customary in our society to ask each other "How are you"? When you are an entrepreneur, that question is often accompanied by a question about 'your baby'. "How are you, and how is it at StartDock"? In this time of Corona, not a day goes by that the question is accompanied with an attached assumption: "Gee, how are you and StartDock, you're going to have a hard time"? I would like to give you a glimpse into my head and into our company, as the ultimate manager at StartDock during Corona.

Being alone together, with a twist. In short, coworking is like working with like-minded people in a shared space. Coworking used to be a location, now it is more of a mindset. The counter-movement that it was – people on bean bags with bare feet in large empty spaces – has now grown into mainstream acceptance. Coworking is for all of us.

On the first of January 2016, our company was founded on a beautiful location on Herengracht 420. We started with 600m2 full of happy Dockers, fast growing businesses and lovely events. It began with our three young founders, who wanted to have the most awesome office space one could imagine. While not being able to find this space in the outside world, they decided to create StartDock Coworking.
