KoWorks will celebrate a year of operations on the Central Coast with a special event on Wednesday, March 27, from 6pm on the beachfront balcony of KoWorks Killcare.
Guests will enjoy drinks from Upstairs Wines , food by Sophs Dumplings and music from James Geard, Joe Foxton and BLAERE.
Founder Adam Hyman said KoWorks started with a simple idea – transforming empty community venues into thriving co-working spaces.
“What began as a small group of people working together in their local surf club during the COVID-19 pandemic has quickly evolved into a co-working movement that fosters a connected community, values sustainability and promotes a better way of working (and living),” he said.
“As the world of work continues to change with more people embracing hybrid working and shorter weeks, we are proud to be at the forefront of this movement.
“A year ago, we opened the doors to KoWorks Killcare with a heart full of dreams and a spirit rekindled from the ashes of challenges past.
“Today, I’m thrilled to invite everyone to celebrate our first birthday bash, a testament to resilience, community and the unwavering belief in the power of togetherness.
“The past years have been a rollercoaster of highs and heartaches.
“The pandemic brought unprecedented challenges that led to the closure of my previous venture, Sportility.
“The experience was humbling, to say the least.
“It pushed me to the brink, dealing with the pain of letting go of staff, navigating investor pressures and confronting my own burnout.
“Yet, it was in these moments of vulnerability that the seeds for KoWorks were sown.”
Hyman said KoWorks was born from a desire to create a sanctuary for entrepreneurs, freelancers and businesses to not just survive, but thrive – a place where the lines between work and wellness blur, fostering a community that supports and uplifts each other.
This vision could not have come to life without our cherished members (whose) trust, support and enthusiasm have been the cornerstone of our success,” he said.
“As we look to the future, I’m filled with excitement for the journey ahead.
“Our goal is ambitious – to expand KoWorks beyond the shores of the Central Coast and continue to provide spaces that inspire, connect and empower.
“But I have no doubt we’ll get there, one step at a time.”
