It’s so impressive that a company that once used to rent a shared workspace is now worth multi-million dollars! Yes, our favorite app ‘Instagram’ had very humble beginnings before it became the social media giant. Maybe a business operating from a coworking in Noida is on its way to becoming a huge hit. Who knows! But shared workspaces are indeed fantastic. They offer the perfect environment to work and welcome you to a community of like-minded, passionate individuals.
Coworking spaces are like the backbone for startups and growing businesses. It will be very interesting to know how a simple idea became one of the biggest social media platforms and how it’s an inspiration for all. Let’s read on!
How did Coworking help in Instagram’s Growth?
Instagram, just like regular startups, did not start in a big, fancy office. The founders looked for a cost-effective, flexible and collaborative environment and their search ended at Dogpatch Labs, a coworking space in San Francisco. They finally found the workspace that could meet their needs and the rest is history. Here’s how a shared space helped in shaping the success of Instagram:
1. An Inspiring and Productive Environment
They needed an office where they could focus, brainstorm and access essential amenities that would support their daily work. The Insta-team worked from a shared workspace that had an ideal work environment with minimal distractions. Moreover, the energy of the place and being around like-minded professionals further encouraged creativity and innovation.
2. Networking with the Right People
The best part about coworking spaces is that you meet professionals from various backgrounds and build your network. The team could interact with entrepreneurs, marketing experts, investors and creatives. They all had different perspectives that helped in refining the founders’ vision. They were attracting attention from the right people and it worked in their favour!
3. Finding Talent & Collaborators
Building an app needs a team of experts. You need web designers, coders and marketing professionals. Instagram’s team needed people with the required skill sets to bring their idea to life. And since a coworking space has a diversity of people working there, they could manage to find talented individuals and potential collaborators.
4. Securing Early-Stage Funding
A startup needs capital to grow. The Instagram team was looking for investors who would trust their vision and provide the necessary funding to develop and launch the app. With venture capitalists, investors and mentors under the same roof, this wasn’t a huge challenge. In fact, many reputed coworking spaces like Let’s Connect Noida often host networking events. Startups can pitch their ideas and get an investor on board.
5. Scalability and Cost-Effectiveness
Started as a small project, Instagram quickly became a global sensation. In this journey, they had to add more people to the team who would manage the growing work. Thanks to the flexibility of the coworking space, they could scale up. There was no stress about long-term leases. The startup could expand as needed.
