Citizen Space is a coworking space. What that means is Citizen Space isn’t just another ‘rent a desk’ type of place. The spaces (and the idea of coworking) are built on the following values:
Collaboration: One of the great benefits of working in a coworking space is that you will meet all sorts of people with all sorts of knowledge.
Openness: We believe in transparency and openness. In a world where people are free, but ideas are not, only a few benefit. When ideas are free, everyone benefits. Therefore, we encourage open spaces and discussions. Sorry, no NDAs allowed.
Community: We thrive on connections and mutual support here. It is important that everyone give into as well as benefit from the strong (international) community coworking has become.
Accessibility: In order to be fully open, we must make the effort to be accessible to all. This means that we endeavor to create both a financially and a physically accessible space. We are committed to this principle and welcome feedback on how we can make it even more accessible

Citizen Space Teams Up With NewME Accelerator
Posted on 03. Jun, 2011 by Isaac Elias in blog, Coworking, Events, NewME
In the coming weeks, Team Citizen Space is anxiously looking forward to the kickoff of the NewME Accelerator. NewME is “an accelerator for minority led start-ups that will house a handful of visiting start-ups during the summer of 2011 in Silicon Valley.”
We are proud to be a part of this initiative to help minority-led startups kick it into high gear this summer. These businesses have shown a good deal of creativity and ingenuity having made it this far, and there’s sure to be more where that came from. With the help of a distinguished list of mentors and guest speakers, the NewME program is sure to produce a brilliant and memorable Demo Day.
Citizen Space is thrilled to give these scrappy startups “a nicer place to work” than they might otherwise have at their disposal. Their exuberance, drive, and vision will definitely be welcome by all of the citizens here. “The more, the merrier” we always say.
