A Note from Cat Johnson, founder of The Coworking Creators Lab

Hi friend,

The Lab was created in 2020 as a way to connect and support indie coworking space operators during the pandemic. Since then, it has grown into a thriving community of coworking pioneers, industry leaders, and community-builders.

In 2025, we relaunched as the Coworking Creators Lab to mark a new chapter in the evolution of the coworking story, and to create the hub for community-focused coworking spaces.

Our vision for The Lab is to elevate community-focused coworking, shine a light on spaces and operators doing amazing work, train coworking pros on the latest strategies and best practices, and position the global collective of community-focused coworking spaces as the leaders and changemakers they truly are.

Coworking is a revolution in how we live, work, and belong. And The Lab is where the leaders of that revolution gather, grow, and rise.

I have always been all-in on coworking communities and I continue to be deeply committed to serving and supporting you. The Coworking Creators Lab is the next phase of this journey.

Further together,
