This survey is part of an academic, non-commercial study examining the working conditions of coworkers in coworking spaces. It’s the first global survey on coworking. The results will be published for free on a magazine or blog in your country.

All replies are anonymous. We don’t at any point ask for your name, or the name of any coworking space.

The questionnaire is simple to use. You also can switch between languages in the upper right corner. The continue button is at the bottom of the page. Have fun and thank you for your participation!

Business schools do not teach the startup spirit, so we launched a Startup Academy

Alex Barrera is the co-founder of the Tetuan Valley, a network of web companies based in the North of Madrid, in Spain.

According to him, no business school in Europe teaches the spirit neither the vision of a startup runner.

“In Business Schools, we learn to replicate a business model that works elsewhere. Not to be and entrepreneur inventing something new. Operate a company is easy to learn. That is no rocket science. Starting a company requires another set of competences, though”.

That is the reason why Alex Barrera (who has his own startup, Inkzee) has launched, along with other, a startup academy.

It brings coaching, vision and entrepreneur solidarity. Here is his interview

“The efficiency gap between startups and companies managed in a traditional way is widening”
