A desk at NextSpace Santa Cruz is not your average workspace. The NextSpace Effect™ is what happens when you put intelligent, creative people together in a curated community—a NextSpace. It’s proof that we’re better together, that the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. In every NextSpace, members get to know each other: They sit next to one another. They talk and connect. And something new and amazing happens. It might be an idea. A referral. A product. A lot of companies have been created by ‘Spacers’ who got to know each other and made it happen. If we have a secret sauce here, that’s it. Communities create collaborations which in turn creates something brand­ new. You can’t summon up the NextSpace Effect™—nobody knows exactly how it happens, but we know WHERE it happens, here at NextSpace.
