Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, like an office, with independent workers. Unlike a typical office, these coworkers are usually not employed by the same organization. In this article you are going to see a few coworking spaces in São Paulo.

Coworking spaces are attractive to professionals who normally work in isolation, like freelancers who work at home, for example. Coworking also helps these professionals escape from the distractions of home. For the ones starting a new business, this isolation is even more harmful, because exchanging ideas, experiences and networking that are important steps to success are lacking.

If you are starting your business and do not want to invest in a physical space only for your company, you will find that coworking spaces have plans specifically for startups and their needs. If you are working alone or with a small group, meet some of the coworking places in São Paulo:
