Local co-op gives startups a place to roost (04/08/11)
RENO — It seems that Dave Asher has begun to corner the market on hyper-local business advocacy.
In just more than a year, he has established and expanded his “buy local” initiative, LiveLocal RenoSparks, and created a free online directory for locally owned small businesses.
In recent months he developed a 10 percent shift campaign to encourage northern Nevada consumers to spend more of their money at home in order to reap the benefits of increased tax revenue.
He has shopped his ideas to municipal and county governments, on radio, television and in newspapers, and has been at the fore of promoting state legislation that would give local businesses preference in public bidding contracts.
And this week, Asher unveiled his latest creation: a business cooperative that gives local entrepreneurs a leg up in building a startup.
“We’re going to teach people how to become entrepreneurs and help turn our economy around,” Asher said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday for the Reno-Sparks Local Business Co-op.
For an annual $200 membership fee, Asher provides office space, website development and consultation and training services to entrepreneurs hoping to break through with a business idea that often times begins as little more than a lifelong passion.

About Us
Reno-Sparks Local Business OFFICE Co-Op
We take the best elements of a coffee shop (social, energetic, creative) and the best elements of a workspace (productive, functional, professional) and combine them to give our workers the chance to have their own affordable space.
The Local OFFICE Co-Op was built on a coworking philosophy:
*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. We are all on the same “team”.
*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 and think tanks.
*Community: We thrive on connections and mutual support here. It is important that everyone contribute as well as benefit from the strong coworking community.
*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 the Local Office Co-Op even more accessible.
Local Office Co-Op Membership includes use of the Local Office Co-Op space and is based on a monthly membership donation. We are always looking for cool people who value being part of a coworking community. You must be Cool to participate.
