Answer 1

Good afternoon, thanks for the invitation!
After reading your clarifying comment:
I had to correct my answer.
In the development of business related to the organization of teamwork, comprehensive support for events, etc. there are a lot of pitfalls and many of them are aimed at the budget of such a project. This is not a "knee-knee" development of a mobile service, where, if you burn out, you don't lose much ( provided there are no capital injections ).
For a more definitive answer, there is little information available about the conditions on the coworking market in Belarus.
In my opinion, if the bias is in the activities and they are at a high level of "usefulness" - the implementation is worth it. But, again, more information is needed:
- Location (capital, periphery)
- What kind of events
- Possibilities of the organizers
- Level of speakers
- Needs of participants
- Need for external funding
, etc.
Not so long ago, I did a little research to confirm the hypothesis about the need to organize startup meetings. The idea was as simple as slippers:
- Gather in the restaurant area of ​​some mall (no rent, treats optional)
- Discuss project problems
- Find solutions together
So to speak, these are the prerequisites for an MVP. But, as it turned out, few people are interested in this format.
Therefore, before investing in the organization of such a project, it is necessary to take into account and calculate the main scenarios for the development of events. And this is not even a startup, where at the beginning there is no clear understanding of the financial model, since the business model is unclear. This is already part of the beaten track.
Since the main costs will be known, and it will not be difficult to calculate the market launch costs, the calculation of the negative, neutral and positive development models is the main task before making a decision. In addition, I think it will not be very difficult to go through the existing co-working spaces, evaluate attendance, and study demand.
I would even recommend using their services if you have not had to before.
If you want, we can talk in more detail when the statistics are available.
I hope my answer is helpful to you! Good luck
