Show Notes
  • Nobody can be part of a startup and then have another startup as a side hustle
  • WhiteSpace is a "collaboration" space
  • There is just an inherent drive to need to be face to face with other human beings
  • Nike "swoosh" recovery
  • I want to add tech that really adds value to the customer experience
  • The willingness to try things and fail at them 
  • If it does not have Starbucks in the lobby it's not really a professional office building 

Barbara Ex, Founder and CEO of WhiteSpace, the world’s first on-demand collaboration space provider. A lifelong interest in the application of cutting-edge technology to open up new markets, enable strategy and transform existing business models. In China since 2005, fluent in Mandarin Chinese.
