Hey everyone, I don't post much, but I’ve been obsessed with a business concept lately and wanted to get some honest (and brutal, if necessary) feedback from the community before I go all-in.

The idea is basically a 6,000 sq. ft. "Third Space" for entrepreneurs, remote tech workers, and makers. Think of it as a hybrid between a high-end co-working space and a light industrial shop.

The vibe I’m going for is "Professional/Rugged." I’m tired of makerspaces that are disorganized and dusty, or co-working spaces that are just rows of IKEA desks. This would be a 24/7 unstaffed, secure facility in an industrial-style building.

The Layout:

• The Shop: Noise-isolated zones for woodworking, metalworking, and CNC/laser cutting.
• The Labs: Clean rooms for textiles and a pro-grade vented paint booth.
• The Studio: A soundproof 4K video and podcast suite for people who need to create content for their brands.
• The "Hangout": A central commons area with a bar/break area and—this is the kicker—two indoor golf simulators.
• The Office: Private offices and dedicated desks for when you actually need to get "computer work" done in silence.

Proposed Monthly Membership (Rough Estimates):

• $149 (Basic): 24/7 access, social hub, textile lab, paint booth, and the media studio.
• $299 (Pro): All the above + the heavy machinery (CNC, lasers, 3D print farm).
• $400 (Desk): Your own permanent desk + all shop access.
• $850 (Office): Private locked office + all shop access.

The Goal: The goal is to give small teams or solo founders access to $200k+ worth of equipment and a professional place to meet clients without the overhead of a massive warehouse lease. Plus, having the golf sims and the social area helps build a community of people who actually build things for a living.

What do you think?

1. Does the pricing feel fair for what you're getting?
2. Would the "Industrial + Social/Golf" mix appeal to you, or is it too much going on?
3. What’s the one thing that would make you sign up on the spot?

Appreciate any thoughts!
