Apply HN: CreatorsNest – On-Demand, Private Workspaces for Artists and Creatives
1) Love the idea of repurposing residential garages, but are these spaces as available (with all the criteria for your needs, like bathroom access) &#x2F; convertable as you think they&#x27;ll be?<p>2) Is the plan for home owners to clear their space, renovate it in the hope you&#x27;ll accept it, then list their space in an AirBnB-type model? Or is someone on your team seeking them out, signing a long-term rental agreement, and converting them yourselves? With a cut to the homeowner, cost of renovations, cost of cleaning after every use, cost of supplies &amp; refills, how much utilization do you need for a space to cover setup costs and then maintain a profit?<p>3) Beyond the community, a lot of artists who use creative studios do so because they&#x27;re working on projects that won&#x27;t get completed within a day or two. How do you address needs for storage of things like wet paintings, clay sculpture, large print templates, etc.? Right now your booking system doesn&#x27;t seem to support needs like &quot;3 hours today, 3 hours tomorrow, 3 hours after the weekend&quot; without multiple bookings &#x2F; risking getting out-booked and kept away from stored items.<p>4) Do you see your target market being more artists currently in a studio (or that have used them in the past), or artists that have never yet joined one (primarily worked from home)?
