It's time. You've made it through MassChallenge and you're starting to ramp up. Co-working has been great, but your team is growing too large and it's time for your own space. Now what? Where can you set up a business so you have a fighting chance at success? How do you figure out where to go that lets you find a place you can afford while also attracting the talent you need? 

This Lunch and Learn panel session, sponsored by the N-Squared Innovation District, will include Chris Steele, a site selection expert with Investment Consultants, and Arnon Tuval, a consultant with Insperity. They will help participants better understand how to:

  • Identify the right general location;
  • Negotiate for the right space;
  • Use location as method of building a talented workforce;
  • Ask the landlord the right question;
  • Find happiness when you're building your own location.


Pizza will be provided by N-Squared Innovation District
