WHO WE ARE

Our mission:

The Florida Nest is a physical coworking space where people can come together, access resources and combine their energy to advance their own entrepreneurial dreams and contribute to the economic vitality of St. Petersburg. We believe that together we can achieve more than each of us can alone and the act of helping others strengthens both the giver and recipient of the assistance.

Our members are lawyers, tech startups, social justice pioneers, freelance writers, entrepreneurs, disrupters, and innovators. You’ll see some faces every day, some only rarely.Interaction with other MembersThe Florida Nests  attracts entrepreneurs and innovators, and we encourage collaboration and feedback amongst our Members. There is a code of ethics in coworking spaces that you will respect the sensitivity of shared information – whether it is intentional or not, and you will preserve the confidentiality of this information.Some members prefer to put their heads down and work undisturbed. We respect that. Some members prefer to talk their ideas out. We respect that.EventsThe Florida Nest encourages connection between members. One of the greatest benefits of working in a shared office space is the networking opportunities! Check out our website and social media for a list of events. We don’t require participation, but we love bringing people together!In addition to The Florida Nest Member Events, we also allow members to put on their own events in our space.  You never know what you might find happening. Most are open to everyone, but be courteous when these events are happening. One of the tenants of The Florida Nest is that we act as a steward of our larger community. To that end, the space is often donated to organizations and causes that align with our values. These groups conduct meetings, networking events, seminars, think tanks, and work sessions. Most of these events occur after regular business hours, but some are during the day. We try to be mindful of our members and do our best to not infringe on their ability to get their own work done.THE COMMUNITY SPACEWorkspacesThe best thing about The Florida Nest  is the number of places you can go to work.OfficesOffices with a door are typically rented by small businesses or individuals that need a little more privacy.  Respect these spaces as private areas, but feel free to poke your head in the door if it is open to say hello to your fellow members.DesksDedicated desks provide guaranteed access to your space during membership.  Hot desks are first come-first serve. Other comfortable sitting spaces and couches are available to relax and focus.Meeting RoomsThere is one meeting room available for member use.Fish Tank View – 1st Floor – Located on the 1st floor with view of beautiful tropical fish tank. Private enclosed room with rectangular table that can accommodate 6-8 people for private meeting and training.  Has large wall mounted monitor to view presentation and other media.  ReservingIf you need a room for more than three hours at a time,  we kindly request you check with the community coordinator first. Do not book multiple 3 hour sessions in a row for the same room without speaking to a staff member. Appropriate UsesOur rooms are not soundproof. By all means, get excited, but try not to get too rowdy. You should probably refrain from sharing classified or highly sensitive information, as the room is in a community space. Meeting rooms are considered part of the community, and as such should be used with care. Erase any marker from the white boards, throw away any trash, and bring any dishes/cups to the kitchen.Candles or incense should never be burned in the building, even private offices.Phone BoothsThere is a phone booth located on the 1st floor. The phone booth is first come, first serve. Please be courteous of your time in the booth. The Booth is for calls and meetings when privacy is needed, not as a quiet space to sit and work for long periods of time.BathroomsThere is one  bathroom on the 1st Floor and two on the 2nd Floor. All bathrooms are unisex. We do our best to keep them stocked and clean, but if anything needs attention, please contact the Community Coordinator right away.Office SuppliesOn the 1st Floor we keep general office supplies such as pens, pads, laminating supplies, paper clips, etc. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please ask the Community Coordinator. Chances are that we have what you are looking for.Kitchens, Food, SnacksThere is a small Kitchenette on each floor for member use.Refrigerator - Refrigerators are for member use. We ask that you keep them clean and remember to dispose of leftovers regularly. When refrigerators seem to be getting too full or any food smells, we will notify members we will be doing a fridge clean out and give them a few days to clear their belongings or mark things that should be kept.Coffee - There is a Keurig machine on the 1st and 2nd floor kitchens. We try to reduce waste as much as possible, so we encourage you to grab a glass or reusable mug for your beverages - located in the kitchen cabinets.Water – Cold and Hot water dispensers are located in both the 1st floor and 2nd floor kitchenettes.COMMUNICATING WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLDWi-FiNetwork: FLY INPassword: 5922flyinSnail MailAs a member, you may receive mail at The Florida Nest  Coworking Space for your business.
