We were delighted to host the John Fraser Secondary School Entrepreneurship Class in our MindShare Workspace. Our CEO & Founder, Robert Martellacci, presented on entrepreneurship and challenged the students with a design thinking activity. It was an honour to be a part of their learning experience and witness their innovative ideas.

Special thanks to our team and coworking members who really help make our community workspace an inspiring place to work, learn and grow!

Happy Spring! Coworking has come of age with residents of Mississauga appreciating the importance of a balanced lifestyle and the notion of  #liveworkplaylearn in your local area; which in large part inspired the MindShare Workspace business concept. We are seeing a strong demand for offices and the hybrid work spaces as not everyone has a good setup at home, or just need a change of scenery to work, or learn.

We are thrilled to be re-opening with a sense of normalcy as we scale up our capacity.  Hence, we are hopeful and incredibly optimistic that 2022 will be pivotal year for you to cease the moment and create new opportunities for growth.

The caveat is that we can’t let our guard down fully yet. Something that we’ve advocated at Mindshare in order to keep our members safe. And, knock on wood, we’ve had zero issues during the past two years.

We’re also witnessing a greater appetite for people to start their own business as a lifestyle choice, one of the positive outcomes of the pandemic is the realization that one needs to take control of their lives to follow their passion.

Happy New year! Welcome to our special January Canadian Co-worker eMag.

As we approach the end of our 4th lockdown, we are incredibly optimistic that 2022 will be pivotal year for you to cease the moment and create new opportunities for growth.

It’s never been a better time to launch your start-up, or consulting practice! Be sure to take advantage, as we have, of the City of Mississauga’s Economic Development Office, Startup and Digital Main Street program! They are offering FREE digital marketing and social media consulting!

Our passion to nurture the future of work & learning took to the virtual centre stage as we marked history in creating the first 3D immersive learning environment in North America that replicated our MindShare Coworking space (see image above). The 12th Canadian international EdTech conference last month focused on the notion of future-proofing learning across Canada and beyond.

Kudos to Aman Sahota, Co-founder of Ei-Amplified, winner of our 5th Canadian EdTech Startup Challenge. As part of Aman’s prize winnings, he’ll be incubating at the workspace for the next three months where I will be honoured to mentor this fascinating startup!

Incidentally, one of our past winners 5 years ago, Paper Learning recently received $105M U.S. in private equity funding. Phil Cutler, CEO, Paper Learning also serves as a board of advisor to MindShare Workspace. It was an honour to mentor Phil and help his company thrive!

As innovation is our hallmark, we are currently in planning mode to host a June event from Pre-k to lifelong learning. Stay tuned for more details!
