320 square meters, 70 desks, a boardroom, a breakout room, a bar fridge, maybe two, access to a shower, a foosball table, some couches, security and NO equity splits, ongoing fees or anything of the like – simply a large space filled with high-growth tech start-ups. Service providers and support organisations have also offered to help out with discounts, webhosting, outsourced development.
We are not an incubator. We are not an institution.
We are a marketplace for ideas, skills and support. We want to provide an environment of support and cooperation, between all the companies involved.
The project is a not-for-profit exercise which means rent is only $300 per month (or $69 per week) plus GST per desk (includes everything). Any surplus funds at the end of each half will be re-invested back into the office space or into a party (probably both).
Some of the companies already involved include :
GradConnection: Australia’s largest online job-board for Graduates (ahead of Career One and Seek)
GoCatch : Winners of the Tech23.com competition. Revolutionising the local taxi industry.
JayRide : A marketplace for carpool sharing
Mobeseek : A mobile advertising platform
ClickPR : An online PR agency with several high profile clients
99Dresses: A wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear? 99Dresses provides an infinite wardrobe of free fashion, allowing ladies to exchange dresses online.
OrionVM: A high growth Australian company providing Scalable Elastic Cloud Computing solutions.

The Name: FishBurners
One of the First Fleet of ships taking convicts to Australian shores was called "Fishburn". It was the biggest of the supply ships for the First Fleet. The Fishburn provided the necessary resources to startup the first community in Australia.
We see this project as a fleet of entrepreneurs on a voyage to a new land, all of us helping to foster a community of like-minded people moving toward a common objective.
The Application
Your answers to the application will give us an indication as to how our community might fit with you and your team. We will gradually be inviting people to meet us for a chat and rolling out invitations over time. A deposit for the two month's rent will guarantee your desks.

Sydney Coworking Meetup
4-4.30
Thursday June 3rd
352 Kent St
Sydney
4.30-5pm
Shelbourne Hotel
Cnr Sussex and Market
We're going to meet up to look at a particular space, and to talk about who's interested in what and when we can get started.
What Space and Where?
1. Mick's View
Walking distance from CBD and a train station. Darlinghurst, Surry Hills next Hyde Park or Central, CBD if we could afford it.
Industrial, warehouse.
Wifi
Cafe next door.
5+ spots, probably at a big shared table.
Some permanent desks to rent.
Open plan.
law forum
Got Space?
Riley St, Sydney
We're looking at some space in Riley St Sydney. Probably some room for renting a single desk permanently (x3?) and some drop-in space too. Let us know if you're interested.
mliubinskas gmail
Need Space?
I'm searching for coworking space in Sydney CBD or West Sydney.
If you know of an existing space please add it here.
Otherwise if you are interested in participating in a co-working space in Sydney, please e-mail andy.yh.lam(at)gmail.com
Coworking Models
1. Multi Flavour
Get a company to rent an office with some extra space.
Occasional drop ins are $10 for the day.
You can rent a permanent desk for $350 a month.
2. Sponsored
Get some bigger companies to chip in some money.
In return they get to hear from startups the latest news, etc.
They can also leave info there about jobs going etc.
3. Form a cooperative or trust.
Members contribute to a fund used to purchase a property and fit it out.
Trust/coop might operate either as a for-profit or non-profit.
The coop members might profit-share if its a for-profit enterprise.
Potentially a trust could do a better job of balancing risks. Can't be kicked out by a landlord or have the property you've paid to fit out sold from underneath you.
Coop could become the hub for yet another industry organisation ;-) or the new home for an existing one.
If the coop was profitable, it could potentially offer loans and other assistance to members.
