Project Description

Do you need a space to get work done, but also feel inspired and supported? 
Do you need a place to host workshops, trainings, celebrations, and events? 
Do you want to be surrounded by women in business or small business owners?

Then The Collab is the place for you!

The Collab is a coworking, community, and event space for women creative entrepreneurs, freelancers, small business owners, and remote workers based in Hendersonville TN, opening Spring 2023. 

Being a small business owner, freelancer, or remote professional isn't easy. It's isolating, and the resources and support you need are often hard to come by if you're working from home.  We saw many local women struggling with this problem—and so we created The Collab as a place where they could find each other, connect with other creative entrepreneurs in their area, and grow as people and professionals.

The Collab is designed by women for women. We offer flexible work options that are perfect for freelancers, women working from home or anyone who needs a place to get work done. Plus, we have an inspiring community of women business owners who can help each other succeed.

Our learning opportunities and resources are designed to help female entrepreneurs through Masterclasses, so you can take your business to the next level! And if you want a special venue to host your next event or workshop, we've got it covered. You'll find that our event space is truly a one-of-a-kind experience!

 

THE SPACE 

 

The Collab is being created out of the desire for a physical space to collaborate and empower the women of Sumner County. Located at 132 Maple Row, Suite 640 Hendersonville, TN. The space is over 1,500sq ft, and includes 3 private offices, flex coworking space, a meeting room, and open kitchen. The open space will be utilized for coworking and gatherings, while the meeting room can be booked by members and non-members. The space is also rentable for celebrations, events, workshops, trainings, and large meetings. We also plan to utilize the space for vendor markets.

Private Offices are also available. Please email us for more information.

 

YOUR BEST SELF

Your investment in a membership to The Collab is an investment in your own future.

It's also an investment in the future of Sumner County!

We understand that you might be thinking, "Why should I invest my time and money into this?" But let us tell you:

By investing in a membership today, you are saying YES to community, growth, and opportunity in 2023! How impactful would it be for you as a woman working in isolation, to be in a space where you can connect with other like minded, and driven individuals? You could be energized, supported, meet new people, connect with other professionals and business owners, and so much more. You could transform your immediate circle and grow your community. You could change the trajectory of your future by being a part of this space.

We ask that if you believe in this purpose and vision, that you will contribute to our shared success. For your future self, for women close to you, for women in the community, and women you might not know yet. This community could be a game changer for them. This space could be a game changer for Sumner County. The possibilities are endless!

PROGRAMMING

The Collab’s goal is to offer our members experiences that aid in their development and presence in the community. All programs are created with the small business owner, freelancer, or remote professional in mind, with a variety of topics and speakers, to provide personal and professional growth. 

What you can expect:

  • Social events
  • Workshops & trainings
  • Personal and professional development speakers
  • Mentorship & coaching services
  • Community outreach programs within Hendersonville

 

THE OPPORTUNITY

Hendersonville is growing at a significant rate, along with the rest of Sumner County. People are moving to the area with the expectation of coworking space options, The Collab will fill the gap that currently exists in our area.

For the last decade, women have been launching businesses at twice the rate of men. It’s important to recognize the needs of this unique market segment. Many female startups cite the need for mentoring and collaboration from people they can identify with. As entrepreneurship can be a lonely road, women value an environment that is warm and welcoming - one which truly fosters connection.

Women get further, faster when they are surrounded by other inspiring women, in a judgment-free environment, that not only encourages vulnerability but also challenges them to grow.

 

THE FOUNDERS 

Emma Holland & Fabi Cordaro

We are Hendersonville, TN working women, moms, and founders of The Collab. We're here to build community—and we want you to be a part of it.

We started The Collab because we saw a need for community and resources for women who are creative entrepreneurs, freelancers, small business owners, and remote workers. We believe that isolation is bad for business and bad for you—and it's especially hard on women starting out in the world of entrepreneurship.

We're passionate about creating a safe space where women can come together to help each other succeed. Our mission is to provide a place where all women in our area can connect and thrive—both personally and professionally. We can’t thank you enough for your support, love, and monetary contribution. You are fueling this fire, and making it happen! We are incredibly grateful.

 

THANK YOU!
