Wazzup Pilipinas!
Congratulations to Acceler8 for turning 1! But the celebration does not stop there for on top of their 1st year anniversary, they also officially opened their second coworking branch in 111 Paseo de Roxas. That's a double celebration that really needs to be punctuated with an exclamation point!
It seems coworking spaces or shared offices are becoming highly in demand right now especially for startups whom we all know probably do not have enough financial capacity to rent or own their own offices. I've had the opportunity to visit several of these establishments from all over Makati and Bonifacio Global City who also invited us to help share the news about their special offer that all entrepreneurs should take advantage.
An office space, though no longer as necessary as before for this digital generation - especially for Millenials, is still more convenient to have if we want to project professionalism. It is still highly prestigious to meet with clients or customers at a presentable place instead of a coffee shop or restaurant.

It is more economical to avail of coworking spaces to lessen a business' operating expenses or overhead. This is also why a group of businessmen are trying to negotiate with mall owners to give startups special rates while they are in the process of growing their business. All these effort is to encourage more entrepreneurs to setup their own business ventures.
We see these visionaries getting younger and younger, and already planning as early during their college days. Making it easier for them to start with minimal cash out or capital would be very helpful. The government should also reduce, if not able to eliminate, the lengthy, tedious and expensive, bureaucratic procedure in applying for a business permit.
Aside from the media launch where the founders gave their opening speeches, Accler8 also organized different discussions and talks that will surely help in our business' development.

I asked for a photo and video op with the four founders, Mikko Barranda, Carlo Coronel, Bryant Cuison and Albert Goh, plus their new fifth partner for the Paseo De Roxas branch of Acceler8. I also have a video invite from all five. I also recorded their opening speeches during the launch, so be sure to watch it on our YouTube channel at http://www.YouTube.com/user/wazzuppilipinas.

Omakase served sushi and other mouthwatering Japanese food thanks to PLDT for making it happen!
They also conducted free business/legal consultations for startups and entrepreneurs that day. Plus a lot more startups were present since it was free for all during that double celebration day.
Let's put our hands up for Dj Miaow who provided great beats during the after party that night. Overflowing booze? Missed it since I had other events to cover that night. But I'm sure to drop by again Acceler8 to try out the cool community vibe at this new cowrking space in Paseo De Roxas.
