Co-Working Weekly: Founders, Nomads, Remote Workers

Working for yourself doesn't mean you have to work by yourself. The Trenches is a Monday-afternoon co-working crew in Taipei for founders, digital nomads, remote workers and anyone with a project of their own. There are no panels and no forced networking. You open your laptop and work next to people stuck on the same kinds of problems you are.

How a Monday runs

14:00  HUDDLE
       > who you are
       > what you're building
       > today's goal

  ...  heads down
       breaks? your call

18:00  laptops close
       > drinks/dinner
         (if we have energy)

The Huddle. We start each session with a quick round: who you are, what you're working on and what you want done by 6. Say your goal out loud and the room knows what you're pushing for and how they can help.

The in-between. Mostly quiet work. There's no agenda and no scheduled breaks, so you run your own clock. Turn to your neighbor when it makes sense, whether that's to talk through a business-model pivot, get past a technical wall or just vent about the solo-founder grind.

The reward. If we still have the energy at the end, we close the laptops and go out for a drink or dinner. Co-workers often end up as friends this way.

You'll fit right in if…

• Discussion-only meetups wear you out and you'd rather actually ship something

• You get more done around other motivated people

• You're from any industry or career. Students are welcome too

中文簡介

自己工作，不代表要一個人奮鬥。每週一 14:00–18:00，我們先做簡短的 Huddle：介紹自己，說說正在做的事和今天的目標。之後就各自專心工作。卡關了可以找旁邊的人聊，產品、技術、商業模式、行銷都可以。如果大家還有精神，結束後就一起吃晚餐或喝一杯。創業者、自由工作者、數位遊牧者、遠端工作者和學生都歡迎，不限產業。請至少點一份飲品或餐點。不接受推銷，也請勿攜帶外食。
