Scheduling a Meeting for Your Startup? 3 Locations to Consider

Startups already have it tough without having to worry about where to meet–those coffee house meetings get expensive after a while. Entrepreneurs have enough on their plate, between gathering financial resources and pitching projects, to have to worry about what address to send people for the next meeting. If you have a startup, you understand all of the struggles that are prevalent in the early days of a business, and how much you need a place where you can come up with solutions to your problems quickly with your partners and employees. While you might not yet have an office space to hold your work meetings, there are plenty of places available for meetings. We’ve compiled a list of a few of the best ones below.  

Library

The public library is one of the best places to hold meetings for your startup. First of all, in many public libraries, you can reserve private rooms. Secondly and even more importantly, you have access to lots of information that you can either find in book format in the library or order from another one. You also have access to wi-fi and even computers if you don’t have enough. Another option is a university library, which will give you access to an even larger amount of resources, but a public library will suffice if you don’t have access to a university library. A couple of the few downsides of using a library as your meeting place is that your meeting location might change depending on the other events that the library is holding, and university libraries might have more restrictions on who they allow to use their resources.

Meeting Room

Reserving a meeting room at a conference center is another option. Like a library, you’ll have access to wi-fi, and you might even have access to their computers. This option is also great because they are used to having people use these spaces for the very purpose of holding meetings. A formal meeting room has access to business tools and technology as an added bonus. This option can be less than desirable, however, if you need to pay for it, and it won’t give you the same level of access to information that a library will give you.

Chamber of Commerce

Your local Chamber of Commerce might be a great place to hold a meeting. First of all, if you have a membership, a meeting room should be free. It will have wi-fi, and it also has rooms that are designed for work meetings. But you’ll need to check with your local Chamber of Commerce to find out which rooms are available and if there’s a fee if you aren’t already a member. There are also Chamber of Commerce membership benefits that could make it worth your while to join.

While you have a lot of hurdles to overcome as a new business, there are a lot of resources available. Check out your city, and then make a decision based on your needs.
