We expect Member to be a good fit for most. As a member, you can come by anytime: during the day for focused work, or evenings and weekends to hang out. You'll have full access to our space: hot desks, lounges, cafeteria, call booths & meeting rooms. And we'd ask you to make Mox yours: host small events, bring guests, and find ways to help each other flourish.
If you're planning on coming in 4+ days a week, and especially if you're working with teammates, the Resident option may be a better fit. This includes a dedicated desk where you can leave belongings, and external monitor.
Finally, if you're not usually in SF, or expect to be coming infrequently, we'd love to have you as a Friend. Beyond all of our public and members events, you're welcome to drop by once or twice a week!
Our space is new, and there's still a lot we're figuring out: what kinds of people we host; how we lay out and design the space; whether we want to focus on coworking, offices, or events; how our financial model will shake out; how we'll orient to the whole AI thing...
The best way to learn is by doing! So our plan is to test out different setups and events — things will continue to change a lot. Hence, "beta". Hopefully, you're okay with a bit of chaos, and are excited to work with us to improve our space.
I like to say that "Mox isn't a WeWork". We're not here to provide some generic coworking service where we maximize the delta between our prices and our costs.
Rather, our priority is to bring in really great people: people who make you eager to drop by on a weekend afternoon, who you can't help but talk late into the night with, who help you become the best version of yourself. People with whom you'll share ideas, start projects, invite to your wedding.
It's so important that great people are at Mox that we're happy to invite people slowly, and run at a loss for a while. (We spent roughly ~$100k/mo and earned ~$30k/mo across our first three months.) We have a bunch of ideas on how to make Mox fiscally sustainable: events; grants; sponsorships; donations; incubate projects like YC. But for now, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to say "yes".
We want Mox to be a place you're proud to show off to your friends and family. So if you want to eg bring in 1-2 folks for a day, go ahead and swipe them in, no need to even ask. Beyond that, just check in with us about what you have in mind. If a friend of yours loves Mox so much they want to be coming in daily, nudge them to apply!
Reach out to austin@manifund.org! We have a limited number of private offices available on renewable 3-month leases, starting at $3.2k/mo for a 4-person office and scaling based on headcount. And if you're a startup, we may be interested in receiving equity rather than cash, to align our incentives~
