Inc. Magazine – Jan 19, 2012“The mix of creative workspace, events, classes (over 175 in 2011), and advisors from places like Andreesen Horowitz, Blue Run Ventures and Twilio give pariSoma members a rewarding work experience. The space features a wrap-around mezzanine with permanent desks that look over the main area, and more flexible, open space. Other cool factors: A hanging casing of a 737 jet airplane, a vintage Bell Atlantic phone booth, and a couple of Google bikes for coworkers to use. ”

The Best San Francisco Startup Offices For 2011
pariSoma named “Best Co-Working Space”
I had the opportunity to visit co-working spaces such as Dogpatch Labs (Pier 38), RocketSpace, Sandbox Suites, SOMAcentral, and The Summit. I likely woud have voted for Pier 38 as the best space, but the untimely demise at the hands of the city of San Francisco has ruled them out. My winner for this category is pariSoma. It’s not because it is a fancy place to work. It’s because there is a “get it done” attitude in the building, and some awesome bootstrapped entrepreneurs rolling up their sleeves there. It doesn’t hurt that they organize lots of events, including classes on brewing beer.

For rent: A desk, WiFi, and instant coworkers
“Then again, newer coworking spaces can offer a one-of-a-kind, quirky vibe that’s hard to replicate in a larger company. Take pariSoma Innovation Loft, a 10,000- square foot space in San Francisco’s SoMa district owned by the Paris-based tech company faberNovel. Since opening in March, it is already generating $40,000 a month in revenues from 120 members, including 50 small companies, says Julian Nachtigal, COO of faberNovel and the “Chief Coworking Guru” at pariSoma. Members get to work on tables fashioned from ping pong tables and attend events like TEDxSoMa, an event inspired by the TED conference, and classes on topics ranging from the open-source web application framework Ruby on Rails to home-brewing ginger beer.”

Welcoming the age of Coworking in San Francisco
“pariSoma, created in 2007 by faberNovel and AF83 after an inspirational meeting with Chris Messina and Tara Hunt,founders of CitizenSpace, was one of the first coworking spaces in San Francisco. “Thanks to the events, workshops and informal feedback meetings, administrative services and advice for startups through the guru program we have built a strong community and innovative network,” says Nachtigal. pariSoma even built its own app called Coworking, allowing the world (literally) of coworking spaces to be found everywhere.”

PariSoma “Innovation Loft” Is Movin’ On Up; A Taste of Parisian Startup Community in San Francisco
“Nachtigal says that it’s all the activities at pariSoma, and the camaraderie they foster, that distinguishes pariSoma amidst the growing crop of coworking spaces. There’s a formal group of “pariSoma gurus” who drop in to give advice on subjects like marketing and dealing with venture and angel investors. There are Taco Tuesdays, weekly happy hours, and frequent birthday parties with cake and champagne, often organized by the coworkers themselves. “One thing I hear a lot from people is they feel more of a sense of community than at other coworking spaces in the city,” says Nachtigal.”
