  It's Time to Level Up!

We have been supporting the community for 3 years and now the okcCoCo is ready to go to the next level. We cannot do it without YOU.


THE PROJECT HAS BEEN FUNDED! THANK YOU FOR HELPING US REACH OUR GOAL!


A New Coworking Facility: Update

We're working hard to locate and renovate a new okcCoCo facility. We've hit a few road blocks in this process and you can learn more in the update section. Once we have more details about a new location, we'll post them here. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!


We are at a Crossroads

The three of us all work full-time jobs outside of the okcCoCo.  We don't get a salary to run the CoCo and every dime extra gets put back into the okcCoCo.  We do this because we genuinely love the community here and want to support it. This is how we've been able to allow many of the user groups to use our space for free, keep coworking prices low and operate at minimal costs.

However, we can no longer afford to stay at our current location, as much as we have grown to love the space. We have found a new location that has the potential to be amazing, but we need your help to get there. If we cannot raise the funds necessary to renovate the new building, we will be forced to close our doors in March.

This means:
  • No more technology events
  • No more events and support for entrepreneurs
  • No more free meeting space for user groups
  • No more free meeting space for non-profits
  • No more professional coworking facilities
  • No more professional network for job referrals
  • No more awesome


Help us spread the word now

It would be hard to understate the value of personal referrals, recommendations, and positive reviews of the people who use and attend events at the okcCoCo. So please, share this page on facebook and on google+, tweet about it on twitter, and talk about it to everyone you think will be affected. Thank you if you have or will share our story.

What is the okcCoCo?

The Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative is focused on improving the technical, creative and entrepreneurial opportunities, resources and community in Oklahoma CityThat can mean a lot of things, but as we see it, it means more jobs, more startup businesses, more events, more educational opportunities, stronger community, more attention from local government to the valuable contributions we make that help create a thriving, growing city and economy.

Looking back at the last three years, we have accomplished more than we ever thought possible, thanks to the contributions of the community. We have built a coworking facility where dozens of people work daily and we have helped to promote and foster over 150 startup businesses. We have hosted well over 300 professional and user group meetings.

We have launched new events including BarCamp, Red Dirt RubyConf, Gov20a, Code4aCause, Throw Your Voice, MobileBeta, Red Dirt Javascript. We’ve partnered with organizations like the Greater Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce and i2E to host events focused on entrepreneurship such as OpenBeta, Global entrepreneurship week, and Startup weekend and to help our companies participate in other events such as SXSW, The Entrepreneurs Conference, and Innotech.

We rely heavily on the time and effort people put into creating and running community events that we host at the okcCoCo. We’ve had over twenty professional groups meet monthly here at the okcCoCo since our launch. We’ve hosted dozens of community events. The passion and work of well over 150 members and non-members alike went into making these events come to life. If you are interested in creating an event, building a community or simply sharing your passions with others, we welcome you to come talk to us about how we can help you build something new and awesome.
