What our residents say
“Love the community – people are open and sharing. CBRIN is the ‘place to be’ if you want to increase your luck, there are so many chances to bump into people and have chance conversations that can lead to great opportunities. [The team are] great at making everyone feel welcome and go above and beyond to help people out wherever they can.”
“I definitely work better here than when I was working from home, and I enjoy the chance to connect with others, even if we aren’t working on the same projects.”
“For any business looking for a cost effective, central office with great support/opportunities, it’s a no brainer.”
“The CBRIN coworking space is a creative, inclusive, friendly and supportive set of office spaces that enable SME’s, start up’s and other workers to work in a productive and relaxed manner with like minded entrepreneurs.”
“It’s a great place to work – for me it’s the exact right amount of friendliness and chat but also focus on work. I love that I can go in, setup my desk, and zone in on my work for hours on end without interruption, and be surrounded by other hard working people.”
“If you really want to get serious about your business and have some serious fun working on your own, CBRIN Coworking is the right place to be.”
“Coworking at CBRIN is a great opportunity to work alongside like minded people, get advice and assistance from fellow entrepreneurs and connect with the Canberra investment community.”
“Since Magia Solutions has a relatively small workforce in Canberra, it is really nice to have a community to work in. We have great access to socially distanced meeting rooms and VC facilities, with wonderful support from the Community Manager and the CBRIN team. Right in the heart of Covid free Canberra. Since I’m a participant in the GRIFFIN Accelerator it also gives me easy access to a number of the startups we are working with, helping mentor them to scale. Thank you for having us here CBRIN!”
Virtual Coworking has given me the perfect balance of access to mentors and experts, connection with entrepreneurial peers and community, all from home. Virtual Coworking with Canberra Innovation Network means I can choose how much and how often I engage, and get the support I need when I need it.
“Being a startup founder is lonely and scary. Being a female startup founder is even more isolated and much more frightening, it is through support, and the strength of the CBRIN community that I can feel the confidence in myself to go forward with my business. CBRIN has created a collaborative culture where I found it easy to ask for help and share my entrepreneurial journey’s ups and downs.”
