(Founder/VC here) if you are in an area where there are VCs who invest in the thing you are founding, tell them that you are a solo founder working on an idea for X, and you would like to work from an office if they have a space you could do that from for a week. Just during business hours. Be a great guest. Polite, clean, quiet, etc.

Second option is that if you are a founder and you have a law firm you are working with, particularly a large startup one they have literal palace offices which alwyas have space. Ask then for if you can work for a week from an office space. Same deal.

Thanks for the suggestion! That’s an interesting idea I hadn’t considered asking a VC firm or a law firm for office space. I’m still in the early stages of my startup (emmo.ai if you wanna check it out). Right now, I don’t have direct connections with VCs yet. Do you think cold-emailing firms with this kind of request would be effective? Or is it something that works better if you already have some traction and a network?

Everything is an abstraction :-)

I find the off grid power problem solving to be very soothing & entertaining. Like the same way people do crosswords or wordle. Just with 100amps. :-)

Having built out a very satisfying overkill homeassistant environment, I am now optimizing my critical load battery backup setup. (EG4 12000xp + Powerpro batteries)
