Omaha coworking space Populus partners with TheirSpace to provide weekday tutoring for students and coworking space for parents beginning September 8. Students can choose between two daily four-hour sessions, priced at $50 per student per session. The sessions require masks, desk cleaning between sessions, and attendance limits of about four to six students per room.
Populus founder says the Omaha coworking space is becoming a brain gain for Nebraska rather than contributing to the state's brain drain. Opened in August 2019 at 2566 Farnam St., the 9,500-square-foot shared workspace serves entrepreneurs and remote workers and has close to 70 members, with more companies looking to join.
Populus Coworking says its Nebraska workspace is attracting startups from outside the state and has grown to nearly 70 members. The 9,500-square-foot shared site near 26th and Farnam began operating in August 2019; VidaNyx moved its headquarters from Seattle in February after a $5 million Series A round that NelNet Inc. and Invest Nebraska helped lead.
Silicon Prairie News highlights Populus in its year-end roundup of notable Nebraska startup stories from 2019. The Omaha coworking hub focuses on founder wellbeing and offers a gym, standing desks, nutritious snacks, and an on-site counselor to help entrepreneurs manage mental health challenges.
