Why We Shifted Our Coworking Pricing: A Transparent Look Into Our Learning Process
Launching and growing a business is messy, beautiful, and constantly evolving. The Sphere Innovation Lab is no different. When we launched our coworking space in Northampton, we did so with energy, intention, and a deep commitment to building something for our community. But like all good entrepreneurs, we’re learning as we go—and we’re listening.
Over the past several months, we’ve collected data from the people who matter most: you. We listened to feedback from members, survey responses, informal conversations, and even from those who didn’t become members. And through that feedback, a few things became clear about our coworking space: folks needed more flexibility, more accessibility, and clearer value in their coworking experience.
So, we made a change. Starting now, we’re launching a new pricing structure designed around the real needs of real people. It reflects what we heard, what the data showed, and what we believe: that a coworking space built for women and nonbinary entrepreneurs must be adaptive, accessible, and responsive.
Our New Pricing Plans:
- Flex Plan – $115/month
15 coworking passes per month + 25% off workshops + access to our full catalog of business resources. - Premium Plan – $175/month
24/7 access*, free use of semi-private cubicles, 50% off workshops, and exclusive member perks. (*Some event exceptions apply.) - Day Pass – $30/session
Ideal for a quick productivity boost. Includes all amenities with 24-hour notice.
This decision wasn’t just about pricing. It was about our values:
- Community-minded: We made this shift not to serve a market, but to serve our people—the incredible community of intersectional identities we’re proud to hold space for.
- Relationship-oriented: The relationships we’re building here are the foundation of everything. Our members are more than renters; they’re co-creators.
- Trust: Sharing our process is part of how we build trust. You deserve to know why we make decisions, not just what they are.
- Personalized: Everyone’s business journey looks different. Our new pricing is designed to reflect that.
- Flexible, adaptable, feedback + data-driven: This shift came from your voices. It’s built on your experiences. And we’ll continue to evolve based on your needs.
- Welcoming and warm: We want the Lab to feel like a cozy campfire—a place where you can come as you are and feel held by community.
- Educational (when you want it): Whether you’re here to focus quietly or show up for community, we’re here for all the seasons of your professional life.
This change isn’t an end point. It’s part of our process of learning, adapting, and building something that reflects who we are and who we serve.
