Actually garages and bedrooms are the best incubators. These connube hostels actually are great places to spy and steal other people`s ideas. This is a stupid idea. I would never work on a startup code with other people around me with cam phones. These idiots don`t have a clue about the real business world out there- They are in lala land.

Looks more like a stupid fad than any long term business model.

And.

Wow, they invented the hotel, except they removed that troublesome privacy part.

expensive for the tenents 30days x $40 = $1,200 a month.
