Founder at Water Street Profile Services Inc

2009 - Present | Vancouver, BC

The Profile (formerly Water Street Profile) is Vancouver Canada's first boutique Coworking office space and private business coffee club€. Coworking is about shared office space, it'€™s also a business center and most important it'€™s a business community. It is membership based meaning we offer our work spaces and services on flexible terms that you need. Members join us at The Profile essentially for two reasons; 1. We have a great office space located in Gastown. Our office is most of the 2nd floor of The Landing, a heritage office building overlooking the North Shore Mountains, the ocean, and cruise ships. The workspaces are unique and the meeting spaces are beautiful 2. The second reason members join is coworking is a place where like-minded business people, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, mobile workers can work among others and be part of a vibrant business community. Aside from most people'€™s day to day business or sales activities, it'€™s a place to meet people and talk about other business issues. Share ideas, ask colleagues about how they handle various aspects of their business. It’s a place to interact and get away from the isolated work environment so many entrepreneurs work in. If you work from home, that’s great. You may step out from time to time and work in a cafe, that'€™s also okay. But now you have a third alternative, a dedicated office space designed for how you work. It may not be okay to say hello to the person next to you at the coffee shop, but it certainly is here. Drop by our space in Gastown and experience Coworking. Come help us build a coworking culture and the ultimate work space.
