Uber fuels hip-hop style beef with Lyft
Posted on 09. May, 2013 by tobymorning in blog, Coworking, Designers, Developers, Funding, San Francisco, SOMA, Startups
I mustache you to switch to Uber.
Standing outside of Citizen Space, the birthplace of coworking, I see an infographic style ad billboard drive by encouraging me to “shave the stache”.
For weeks I have been waiting on Kanye’s response to Ray J’s “I hit it first” single but now that Uber has taken a direct shot at Lyft, my attention is on the private driver services.
This is the first direct attack I have seen to date and it raises a bunch of interesting questions. How will Lyft respond to this? Is this a good move by Uber? Is Uber willing to say they will quit driving forever if they don’t outsell Lyft like 50 said he would quit rapping forever if he didn’t outsell Kanye?
I guess the best we can do is sit back and watch this play out!

Jeremy Chen – Citizen Space Resident for Spring 2013
Posted on 05. Apr, 2013 by Jeremy Chen in Coworking
Hi, my name is Jeremy Chen, and I am pleased to introduce myself as one of the new Citizen Space Residents for Spring 2013. I am a social enterprise lawyer that assists new companies with business entity formation and business transactions.
At Citizen Space, I am working on creating online legal resources for social enterprises. The first resource is a library of articles explaining the myriad legal issues that social enterprises, as well as for-profit companies and non-profits face in starting their companies. www.jeremychenlaw.com/articles
The second resource is a legal blog, which I intend to be a more accessible forum dedicated to social enterprises and new ways of doing business. I will be posting topics regarding the intersection of business and law, social change, marketing, art and music, culture, and good ideas. Please check it out at: www.jeremychenlaw.tumblr.com
Having never worked in a co-working space before, I will be documenting my experience at Citizen Space on this blog. So far, Citizen Space has been a great place to meet cool people, who just happen to be focused and self-motivated entrepreneurs. I look forward to the next few months at Citizen Space, and encourage new folks to give it a try.
Jeremy Chen, Attorney at Law
