We’re currently growing a unique co-working space that also offers on-site dog daycare. If you have experience scaling any of the following, I’d love to hear from you: Co-working businesses Dog-related businesses In-person membership-based businesses (e.g., Soho House, Equinox, etc.) We’re already using channels like word of mouth, in-person outreach, events, SEO, and social media, etc.. Now that we’re fully operational, our goal is to 4-5x membership in the next 30 days, and looking to better understand the most effective growth channels, expected ROI, and proven tactics to help us scale quickly.

Thank you Luke. Yeah I did bootstrap and exit a coworking business and was involved with the worldwide coworking movement. 4-5x membership in the next 30 days. hmm. So If I currently have 10 members and 5x will be 50. And that's doable. However if I have 200 now then 5x will be 1k. That's a tall order in 30 days. At least to me. Also I have to be aware that at times a rush to grow by a certain % so quickly may lead to attracting and possibly messing up the culture and vibe. If I was the owner of a space in LA, I would start with my current members. How many do I have them? How did they hear about us? Who are our best members? What do I like about them and how can I find more of them? Possibly host events that attracts more people like them in to our space. At the same time I would evaluate if the dog day care is driving membership or is it distraction? Best of luck.

To give the community a little more context, it would be helpful to get a better sense of your brand. - Could you share a link to your website and social media handles? - Have you also considered strategic partnerships and/or influencer marketing? - Are you located in a high-traffic shopping center, business complex, etc.? - What does your ideal customer look like?
