Research Strategy
To conduct this research I first analyzed the list of coworking spaces in San Mateo and Redwood city with a technology hardware focus. The spaces were mostly software and business office oriented so the research was expanded to include the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The criteria provided was used to narrow possible coworking spaces within this area. The distance from San Mateo to each location is based on Google Maps distance measurements.
