Per @leeyanco, pivotallabs is able to pivot quickly when there is a need because:

1. They have a manic focus on user research (on the RIGHT user) 2. They bring major decision makers together, to make major decisions 3. Their product backlog is always user value focused 4. They start with the simplest possible thing 5. They have the courage to admit it when they are wrong

In the course of looking for office space over the last few years, I had a relatively hard time finding a list of all the co-working spaces in NYC that listed the things that were important to me, namely: price, lease term, location, amenities and relationships.   As I’ve begun working with more start-ups here in NYC, finding affordable, convenient and appropriate office space has also been a major time-eater for them.  I ended up creating a comp sheet of every co-working space in NYC and their amenities, costs and locations to share with them.  Now, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, where a lot of folks continue to be displaced, I decided it made sense to update and share it with everyone. Some of these stats involve estimation and some of the sources were just me visiting and/or calling the sites themselves.  I think I actually have every space on there, but if anything is missing, feel free to write it into the comments, update the sheet yourself or shoot me a note at [email protected].   If you have worked at any of these spaces, maybe post a review that would be helpful to others below.
