How do I get started?

Where do I park?
- Bikes are stored in the back room for free.
- Motor Vehicles may be parked in the South parking lot or on 6th Ave in front of Spoke6.
Who should work here?
The space is ideal for web designers + developers, creatives, writers, illustrators, photographers, and entrepreneurs. It’s probably not ideal for realtors or those who plan on being on the phone more than 25% of the time.
Can I meet clients at Spoke6?
Yes, key members can reserve the conference room (which seats 4 people) online and other members and drop-ins can use it on a first come / first serve basis. Larger client meetings / workshops will need to be scheduled in advance and cost $50.
Can I teach classes here?
- Members can do 1 on 1 training at an open desk as long as noise is kept to a minimum.
- The conference room may be used for teaching when available.
- For larger groups the Whiteboard Room area may be reserved during business hours for $50/session.
- A fourth option is for Key Members to teach after hours at any open desk spaces.
What about business partners?
Guests may be part of any conference room meetings, however they will not be able to stay and work before/after. Key members can bring guests for 1/2 price ($10/day or $50/month). Everyone else will need to pay regular rates to use the space.
Can I leave my stuff here?
Regular Members get a 6″ x 11″ x 20″ storage box and Key Members get a 11″ x 11″ x 20″ storage box. Desk Members can store computers & monitors on their permanent desk.
Can I get kicked out?
Yes, but we’ve never had to do this. Be respectful and you’ll be fine.
Who monitors the space?
Key members moderate the space and close up at the end of the day. Individuals are responsible for cleaning up after themselves.
If I jog or ride by bike to work, where can I freshen up?
There are men’s and women’s bathrooms with lockers and showers.
Can I eat and drink at my desk?
Yes, though please clean up after yourself. Alternatively there is a break room down the hall if you want a change of scenery. 4th Avenue and Downtown restaurants are both a short walk away.
I prefer to work at odd hours, can Spoke6 accomodate me?
Key members have 24/7 access while everyone else can use the space only when a key members is there (Generally 9-5, Monday – Friday). Check the upcoming schedule here »
Can I rent the space for an event?
Key Members can hold up to 3 events a month (after hours). Non-members may rent the space for $600/event.
“Spoke6″, what’s it mean?
“Spoke” was chosen to signify bike-friendly and sustainable qualities along with being part of a larger network (many spokes together support a wheel so it may turn). This space should also be a “spoke” of your business to help it work smoothly.
“6” was chosen because this space is on the corner of 6th Street and 6th Avenue, the 6 degrees of separation theory of connection, and because Chinese culture considers the number 6 to be “fluid” and therefore lucky for business and happiness.
