15 of the Best Coworking Spaces in Philadelphia
In 2017, Philadelphia snagged the number three spot on Innovation That Matters’ list of top cities in the United States for startups. And because of the budding entrepreneurial scene, the City of Brotherly Love has become the City of Coworking Spaces! When starting a small business or running one all by yourself, you need a place to work. And sometimes, coffee shops or public libraries don’t offer that communal feel that comes with having a shared office space.
Which is when people turn to coworking spaces — the modern-day solution to the boredom that comes with working alone.
We’ve gathered 15 of the best coworking spaces in Philadelphia to rescue you from going stir-crazy in your own apartment (or spending too much money at your local coffee shop).
