			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello GrabADeskers!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we checked in with you. We&#8217;re long overdue for updates, so here are two:</p>
<ol></ol>
<p><strong>First, GrabADesk has now made connections for 50 startups</strong>. Not all of them have moved into space, but lots have. We&#8217;re pretty excited to be in the business of helping startup entrepreneurs find homes and we&#8217;re very excited that all you startup people AND all you hosts have found us.</p>
<p>Here are two highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li>Punit Shah of <a title="Zazu" href="http://www.getzazu.com/" target="_blank">Zazu</a>, a mobile company that helps you prepare for your day before you even get out of bed, moved into <a title="BWP" href="http://www.bostonworldpartnerships.com" target="_blank">Boston World Partnerships</a> Connector Jay Sun&#8217;s space on Newbury Street in Boston. Punit, who is also a BWP Connector, and his team were in the Hangout space downtown. Their new space replicates the creative, dynamic startup culture that existed at Hangout.</li>
<li>BWP Connector Enrique Shadeh of <a title="Startup Blvd" href="http://www.startupblvd.com/challenge_application" target="_blank">Startup Blvd</a>, which provides a supportive platform for startups looking to launch and expand their businesses, has moved into <a title="Geek Offices" href="http://geekoffices.com/" target="_blank">Geek Offices</a>, Cambridge. Enrique&#8217;s team had been at MassChallenge. Geek Offices offers Startup Blvd flexibility and a dynamic co-working environment.</li>
</ul>
<ol></ol>
<p>You&#8217;ll notice that BWP Connectors have been taking advantage of this service a lot. They hear about it all the time from me, so they really use it. We&#8217;d like to get the word out to a broader audience, so please share <strong>GrabADesk</strong> with your friends!</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong>, we&#8217;ve been around several months now and this little project seems to be working, so <strong>we&#8217;re thinking about phase 2</strong>. We would love to hear your ideas for how to improve <strong>GrabADesk </strong>in the comments. One important piece is how to make the site more social so that startups can find each other and go into space together. As of right now, this site is simply two google forms, so the only way to go is up!</p>
<p>Alright, that&#8217;s it ladies and gents. Your feedback is sorely needed so please weigh in!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Desk Grabbers and Givers,</p>
<p>We here at GrabADesk have had a great month of connecting startups to workstations in Boston and the vicinity. Thanks to everyone who has spread the word.</p>
<p>Right now, we have about 20 startups looking for space through GrabADesk. This represents a market for space providers.</p>
<p>So, if you know anyone who has available space in the <a title="Innovation District" href="http://innovationdistrict.org">Innovation District</a> or the 128 and 495 belts, we would love to talk to them. We&#8217;ve had lots of demand for both those places and we&#8217;d like to help connect people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we launched GrabADesk, we had no idea whether it would work. We didn&#8217;t know if startups really wanted this sort of thing and we definitely didn&#8217;t know if any companies would want to host startups in their extra space.</p>
<p>Well, we&#8217;re happy to report: it works!</p>
<p>We have now connected 16 startups with space providers and we hope that all of them will find the desks they need.</p>
<p>And we&#8217;re proud to announce that we have made a match.</p>
<p>Matt Johnson and his startup <a title="Omnistrat" href="http://omnistrat.com/">Omnistrat</a> have moved in with Jay Sun and his company EnCandle on Newbury Street!</p>
<p>Jay has more space available, so if you&#8217;re a startup and you like the Back Bay, he might be your man. Leave your info in the comments or post in <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&amp;formkey=dHVRa3JPWF9iM25PZDJMcm5yVFlVSFE6MQ#gid=0">our startup form</a> and we&#8217;ll match you.</p>
<p>And just so you don&#8217;t forget:</p>
<p><a title="Startups" href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&amp;formkey=dHVRa3JPWF9iM25PZDJMcm5yVFlVSFE6MQ#gid=0">Startups who need space click here</a>.</p>
<p><a title="Providers" href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEZPSDFTU3VZSkZicGc4ay1ETWZhTVE6MQ">Companies who have space to fill click here</a>.</p>
