    I will be the first guy to relocate there.
    Why should Palo Alto have all the fun?

    Count me in,

    Thanks for the mention. I think it's a great idea! It will have to be pretty cost-effective for us bootstrapping entrepreneurs out there. :-)

    What we setup in Bryan, TX is a private coworking/incubator for folks like ourselves. We didn't look for funding; we didn't try to recruit backers; we certainly didn't spend a crap-ton of money to renovate. We simply took it upon ourselves to make the idea happen.

    In August of 2007, The Creative Space was born. 5 guys and some ikea desks later we were setup and running. We're now up to 13 people and several other incubators started popping up down the hall, and around the corner from us.

    What I've found is that good ideas spread, and like moths to light... we've attracted others. Organically grown and unplanned.
