Level Office

When Bill Bennett started his first business in 2007, he began to search for a bright, vibrant office space. With a growing company, he was eager to be located in Chicago's Loop, but brokers turned him down when they learned he wasn't interested in a long-term lease.After looking at a few dingy sublets and several "very 1980s-feeling" Regus centers, Bennett settled for an affordable but basic co-working space at The Incubator in Evanston. He soon realized that without a sense of community and common space to interact with other businesses, he was spending ten hours a day in his office without speaking to anyone.
