The sponsor of this project, ChuangChao Investment, looks to provide Hangzhou’s growing startup community with a coworking/incubator space that surpasses any competition, including the popular coworking format called WeWork. By first identifying how WeWork functions in the United States and China we then compare our sponsor’s format to WeWork’s format, and multitude of other formats in the Hangzhou area. The data from our interviews, visits, and analyses leads us to recommendations to improve our sponsor’s format. Additionally, some recommendations may be used to benefit other formats in Hangzhou’s Xiasha District.
