Coworking Space: CO+HOOTS in Phoenix

I love the energy at CO+HOOTS! It's awesome to work in an environment that is so positive. CO+HOOTS give me and my business a boost everytime I come in. I also love the purpose that Odeen and Jenny bring to their work, making the world a better place for all.

Well, I will start by saying, "it's not the building, it's the people", but we do work out of a 14,000 square foot space and I love it. I feel like I am in my home, with my peeps and everyone there is helping me achieve greatness in my business and they actually care about me as a person. I have been provided referrals and I have had the opportunity to sit on a board and I have met so many people in the entrepreneur ecosystem. I get to speak at internal events, they have happy hour events at local restaurants and I do group volunteer work around the community we live and work in. They offer me way more than a desk, they open my world to a community.

Great community with great goals.

A pioneer not just in Phoenix, but in the coworking space overall, CO+HOOTS is built on collaboration and driven by the community.

The old location was tight-knit, and the best part was a great coffeeshop on site. The new location is a bit cold, the parking lot spots are teeny tiny, and a lot of good people (including the staffers that made it feel warm and welcoming) have long since moved on.

I was blown away by this place. I think this might be my favorite coworking space I've ever been to. There was pretention at all, just a really comfortable place to work. I really like that there were lots of companies who rent a space there, it made it feel like people were actually getting things done. The design was very well done, and you could tell that there were lots of community events that happened throughout the week as well.

Unfortunately, this space is a bit sterile and not very welcoming and the WIFI is spotty. The kitchen didn't even have a stove, just a broken microwave. On the email list, they spam people with requests to rate or vote for them. The events are okay but there are sometimes good events when other groups come in. I am giving two stars for the location and these events, but would not cowork here.

CO+HOOTS is home to innovation, plain and simple. From the very first moment you walk through their door, you can’t help but immediately capture the positive energy flowing from its members. Whether you are an entrepreneur, freelancer or part of a small business, CO+HOOTS provides all of the necessary resources to thrive and be successful.

The location, the space, covered parking, beautiful areas to work, treadmill desk--these are just the beginning of what's so special about Co+Hoots. Beyond this is the people, the community. How founders Jenny and Odeen have crafted the most ideal environment for getting work done, connecting with amazing, interesting people with events and gatherings that bring it all together. It's the most special place. Bar none.

What do you really want in a co-work environment? Office space? If so, you will get that with co-hoots, with great services and great amenities, but, you will get a whole lot more, specifically you will get a community that you can leverage to help grow your business and that you can give back to in return. And, you will get a management team and staff that truly cares about who your are, what you experience is like, what your needs are, what you define as success and are they doing everything possible to help you achieve it. If you goal for you and your business is world domination, well then, you will have to battle Jenny for that prize. But if your goal is to grow so big that co-hoots will be too, small to handle you growing business, then Jenny will gladly help you succeed, because although she hates to lose a member, nothing brings her more joy, more pride and a bigger smile on her face to say that you grew large that you grew out of the co-hoots space and needed a space of your own. Co-hoots is a great environment, you can't go wrong!

Co+Hoots is an accepting, welcoming entrepreneurial community of innovators that fosters productivity, networking opportunities and personal and professional growth.

I love being able to come in and office at CoHoots with brilliant brethren entrepreneurs in Phoenix. The space is cool. Last time I was in I worked on the treadmill desk and got in a bit of a work out. Two women helped me synch files on dropbox and recommended a lead capture tool I'd never heard of. I attended a TED Talk Tuesday where we watched 3 great videos on procrastination and discussed our challenges and what we could do about them. I had a private business meeting in a conference room with two mentors. CoHoots is what you need it to be. Even if you don't know what you need! I've had a home office for 22 years (matchmaking). It's nice to be among people who want to change the world with you. Thanks CoHoots and Founders Jenny Poon and Odeen Domingo. CoHoots Rocks! Stop by for a tour and you'll see!

Co-Hoots helped us grow our business when we had just moved to Phoenix. The support, encouragement and friendships we gained there were absolutely invaluable. We will be Co-hootians for life!!

I've been a member of Co-Hoots for over 3 years and it's been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. Not only is the staff friendly and helpful but so are the other members. Several times has the community given me advice and suggestions of all types of questions as well as issues. I can't imagine what it would be like not working from this space.

You have to know that CO+HOOTS is NOT about the building, although we did move into a cool new, large 14,000 square foot space in midtown, it is NOT about swanky furniture, although @HecklerDesign did build amazing custom desks and provided other smart desk equipment tools. It is NOT about free support, although we do have the @CO+Foundation that has the LevelUp program for new entrepreneurs and there are mid-week mind-tweak free lunch and learns. It IS about the PEOPLE, it has always been about the PEOPLE. There are so many amazing entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, startups and mid-sized businesses that work out of CO+HOOTS and all you have to do is look to the person in the desk or office next to you or just reach out via the Facebook Clubhouse and whala, you have expertise at your fingertips. I have received many business referrals and have provided many to others within CO+HOOTS. I am fortunate to have watched the growth and expansions by participating in the move of 4 locations with @JennyPoondingo and @Odeen-JonDomingo. When I joined at the first location there were 3 women owned businesses, now CO+HOOTS is 50% women business owners. We co-create, we co-llaborate, and we are collectively the largest co-working location in the state of Arizona. I encourage you to come in, say hello to @KayTranstrum and @GarrettBurnett who are the leaders daily and watch Jenny Poondingo mingle with City Officials and pay attention to Odeen-Jon Domingo who is the backbone of the team. Then say hello to Meg Taylor and get involved in some non-profit goodness. Co-Learn and Co-Build the entrepreneur core with us. We are #Entrepreneurs we are #Startups and we are #COHOOTIANS!!!! Brilliant as ONE and AWESOMESAUCE together!!!

More than any other place I have worked CO+HOOTS puts the focus on creating a community of support and innovation. The energy of the space is wonderful and it's impossible to leave without making at least one meaningful connection!

Since joining Co+Hoots, I've been taken on amazing journey and have grown immensely from this community. In just a short year, I've joined a business in Co+Hoots and I've watched and helped it grow in this space from just two individuals, to an agency. To say that Co+Hoots has boosted my professional and social skills is an understatement. Love the community, love the events, and most of all I love the employees!

CO+HOOTS and its amazing community taught me to believe in my crazy ideas. For that, I will forever be grateful. It's more than a space- it's a home.

I've popped in a couple times to telecommute when I couldn't work in the office, and working from home wasn't an option. I think my post one day on FB was something along the lines of "this space is the vortex of efficiency." I had the bare minimum of distractions and was super productive. Another day they had free bagels and lemonade. I'm in my mid-30s and thought I'd feel too old. Not the case. Lots of folks of all ages. I'll happily go back when I need to hide from office mates.

I really enjoyed the days I worked on my side business from CoHoots while living in or visiting Phoenix. There are so many smart, forward thinking people in one space. Their enthusiasm and energy are contagious. I also enjoy all of the events they host, and how helpful everyone is.

By far one of the best coworking spaces I've been to period.

I've been frequenting Co+Hoots for 2+ years. I love: the wide range of interesting, intelligent, friendly people; the Midweek Mindtweak (aka lunch and learn); the food trucks; making connections, hiring and getting hired by other members; the focus on developing community and making downtown Phoenix better... and did I mention the People?
