Business Plans Your coworking space business plan reflects who you and your team are, your goals, the conditions in which you will have to work to reach them and the plan you have to make it happen. A business plan is great to have when working with a team as you will put everyhting about your idea, your environment and the steps to be taken further on paper, and it is also usually necessary when looking for funding or when your coworking space is a new business in your area and you need to convince other about the viability of your model. In these cases the business plan will be more formal and it is a good idea to make a long term plan of 3 to 5 years, and include an exit strategy (what happens if everything fails?). A business plan is always recommended. If you plan to find investors for a space a business plan is a no brainer as you won't get far without one. For people bootstrapping a space, as with any business startup, it's still highly recommended. co.up coworking - Berlin (GER), Sep 2012

What is coworking? Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, yet independent activity. Unlike the typical office environment, a coworking space is generally shared by individuals from different organizations and professions. Check out the history of coworking in a timeline! This style of work is attractive to creative types, entrepreneurs, independent contractors, work-at-home professionals, and people who travel frequently and end up working in relative isolation. It provides independent workers a place to get work done, meet clients and professionally “show up,” both mentally and physically. With the 2008 downturn in the economy many people decided to create their own job vs. waiting for the “recovery”. If you work at home, you know the cons. Some looking for a sense of community turn to working from coffee shops – which often means fighting for a table, begging someone for a plug, or being distracted by a group of noisy teens sitting next to you.

Video Magnification banner slider Many seemingly static scenes contain subtle changes that are invisible to the naked human eye. However, it is possible to pull out these small changes from videos through the use of algorithms we have developed. We give a way to visualize these small changes by amplifying them and we present algorithms to pull out interesting signals from these videos, such as the human pulse, sound from vibrating objects and the motion of hot air. Videos Software and Code Eulerian Video Magnification code Matlab code and executables implementing Eulerian video processing for amplifying color and motion changes. Phase Based Video Motion Processing code Matlab code for implementing the new and improved phase-based motion magnification pipeline. Videoscope Web interface for motion and color magnification.
