⚡️ Lake Tahoe losing its power source #
Fortune reports how nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents (and its coworking spaces) have to find a new power source after their energy source looks to redirect lines to data centers instead.

🌱 Your minimum viable community #
When Cat Johnson advises people about starting a community, whether virtual or in-person, the first thing she tells them is to seed their community with the people they want to be in the community… their ideal members.
These people should be community-minded, generous, and collaborative because they will set the tone for the entire community. This is your minimum viable community.

📲 Platform rolls out free roaming indie network #
One Coworking has introduced a free reciprocity network for European indie operators. By opting in, your members get one free day pass at any other participating venue, and agree to host incoming guests in return.
I’m a fan of reciprocity across brands, but I do worry about step two of their setup process which includes uploading emails of the members to be enrolled in the program. So far 7 operators are participating, will you? Why or why not?

🤖 AI agents get Nexudus access #
Carlos Almansa shares that Nexudus has released a CLI and Agent Skill that lets tools like Claude interact directly with the platform: pulling helpdesk data, analysing member feedback, generating action plans, and even creating follow-up tasks automatically.
The interesting part isn’t the AI layer itself, but the shift in interface design. I’ve covered this before here in TWIC, where for almost all of time coworking platforms were designed only for humans clicking through dashboards, mow they’re being designed for agents that can act on behalf of operating teams.

WOTSO officially opened their Gregory Hills location. Now while their growth is impressive (this is their 8th location in Western Sydney, and 42nd overall), it’s the emphasis on where this location is that’s most interesting here.

🎙 Coworking conversations.
In this episode of Brave Ideas, Caleb Parker speaks with Wybo Wijnbergen, Co-Founder and CEO of infinitSpace to unpack why occupancy alone is not enough, why higher rent is not always the better decision, why performance clauses need to protect both landlord and operator, and why the quality and diversification of occupiers inside a flex space may matter more than the industry currently recognises.
In this episode of Brave Ideas, Caleb Parker and co-host Eyal Lasker sit down with Alex Young, Managing Director at Projects, the Brighton-born coworking brand now expanding into new cities across the UK, to discuss what it really takes to scale a coworking brand without losing the culture, community, and hospitality-led experience that made it work in the first place.
On the GCUC podcast Liz Elam hosts Ben Newton from PATCH and the open-source OpenOps Project to discuss how very often its the people, the systems, and the intentional operations happening behind the scenes that make certain workspaces unforgettable.
