It is a thing to note about starting an IT business. Office space is an overhead you cannot afford. I was involved as a founder for a small custom dev and consulting company in the middle 2000s. We were about 10 and very distributed. Every Friday we would meet at a coffee shop with bottomless coffee πŸ˜‰. Do our version of a standup and then get on with it for the week. Even then we managed with email and google chat and cell phones. The tooling is so much better today than then. So there is no reason to waste money on renting fancy spaces.
