The Coop Coworking

Dana Bergrenn opened her first coworking space, The Coop Cowork, in 2017 - 4,000 square feet of primarily offices with some community space. In December 2021, she closed her agreement for her second space which is just over 20,000 square feet.

We talk about:

• What her mindset was when she grew her coworking business from 4,000 feet to a total of 24,000 feet.
• How she structured her real estate deal for her first location to include equity in the building
• How the real estate market has shifted in Las Vegas from 2017 to 2022 and how that has impacted her business.
• How she’s learning to delegate now that she requires team members to run her business.
