No capital invest- ment is required. Amenities include laptop-ready desks with Internet connectivity; virtual mailing addresses; print, copy, scan and fax capabilities; 24/7 access;

to stay at Mission 50 for a day, a week, a month or indefinitely, there are many affordable options available. The space itself is equally flexible, offering a choice of library-style seating, private offices, standing work sta- tions and a relaxing lounge area. “I utilize one of the private offices at Mission 50, which gives me just the right combination of privacy along with the sense of community that comes from being sur- rounded by other members,” Mullen concluded. n
