This Wednesday March 27th, there is an Open House at Collective Agency. Our business is commercial sublease to members for 24/7 access.

Collective Agency is the cooperative/democratic/co-working cozy workplace located in Old Town, Portland.

Our community mission: Come work with passionate commitment in a democratically governed community.

Arrive as early as 9am to work (buzz "200" on the door). At 11:45am we’ll go to the food carts and sit indoors to eat and chat.

Every Wednesday at 2pm members give Lightning Talks, which are 2-4 minutes long and can be about anything the member giving the talk would like to learn about by sharing with people here. (A project they’re working on or anything under the sun that they’d like us to hear about, that they are passionately committed to.)

Stay as late as 5pm. Bring friends and co-workers, and expect to meet friendly people.

Collective Agency’s shared office has all the office things, and a Community Mission Statement:

“Cozy places to work alongside people doing what they’re passionate about and committed to, where 80% of people say hi. Come and work here!”

Collective Agency membership is for people who want to work alongside other people, and to be working in a place where you can have conversations, eat lunch together, and over time form friendships. Members value productive work.

“I joined because I needed a place to really buckle down and get work done. I’ve stayed because it feels good to be there, I enjoy seeing the other co-workers and meeting new people, and because I still get more work done there than anywhere else.”
–Allie Quady, Momentum Health Coaching

“I’ve been working at Collective Agency since I moved to Portland June, 2013. I love my commute, I love coming in and seeing busy happy people, I’m on phone calls often and have the space available for privacy. I’m broadened by the community here.”
–Stefanie Zasyatkina, In Reach Solutions

There are many optional community activities, from weekly open Coordinating Council meetings where members ask for and make happen what they very much want, to lunches, happy hours, Lightning Talks, and opening new locations. Collective Agency is a self-governing community and business where members set the rates. Many people have been members for years.

Business owner Alex Linsker was recently listed as one of the “30 Most Influential People in Coworking.” Collective Agency has constantly been listed as one of the 30 top coworking places in the United States, is a member organization of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives, and CEO’s awarded it the most awards on The WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces™ 2013 for best practices in workplace culture.
