First Tenant and Office Inspiration

2007-10-17T07:37:00.000-07:00

StartPad signed up our 1st tenant last week (2nd if you count Blue Dot); in addition to Blue Dot we now have the Entertonement development team in our Pioneer Square office. Entertonement's imminent arrival was a great excuse to do some heavy-duty spring cleaning around the office. Kim and I spent 3 solid days last week cleaning out the detritus of a year's worth of accumulated junk. She also had the great idea to put a foosball table in our otherwise unused entry space.

Speaking of offices, I found a great site that shows the interior of office spaces of other startups (primarily in SF - but also around the country/world): Office Snapshots shows the interiors of a bunch of different startups including Digg, Facebook, Bebo, Craigslist, Google -NY, FlickR, Eventful, LinkedIn, Ning, Revver, Twitter, and WebMD.

Yesterday, Patrick Pendergast, (Washington Partners Corporate Real Estate) gave me a tour of some Seattle properties that would be ideal for StartPad expansion. One I liked particularly is divided into 7 large private offices that would be very suitable for 1 to 4 people in each. It also has a large central common area for guest offices, and a large conference room.
