SILICON VALLEY OR SAN FRANCISCO? COWORKING COMPANY SAYS, WHY CHOOSE, HAVE BOTH.

PALO ALTO, CA – Sandbox Suites has created a space for Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, independent professionals, and business leaders to come and work in a high end startup environment. Sandbox Suites will serve the cities of Silicon Valley with a CoWork and Innovation/Incubation space, with turnkey solutions. The unique space allows its members to interact with like-minded individuals and concentrate on “getting things done”, not office space management.

Key benefits of coworking enable people to mingle with top entrepreneurs and have increased productivity all within a completely collaborative space.

“74% of coworkers say they have become more productive since joining a space” - deskmag

With the understanding that while working for yourself can be liberating and satisfying, without the right facility, it can also be unproductive and lonely.Sandbox Suites renovated a 20,000 sq foot space where startups and individuals can have their ideas and projects flourish in a productive and inspiring environment.

Sandbox members, partners, and graduates, have included names like Twitter, TaskRabbit, AllThingsD, Blue Bottle Coffee, Mc Hammer, and Chomp who were recently acquired by local Silicon Valley giant, Apple.

Sandbox Suites members have access to multiple locations around the bay area, with the ability to connect with over 500 members. Memberships range from hot desking to assigned and unassigned seating, private offices, conference rooms, and include networking events, lunches and happy hours, all for a low monthly price.

“We look forward to our continued growth within the bay area with plans to add additional locations in the north bay, peninsula, as well as branch out to other cities across the country. Our upcoming plans are to expand our services to include startup acceleration, business services, legal and management consulting, to help accelerate our members growth. With our all inclusive coworking platform we will help our members reach unprecedented heights.”
