Patent Attorney and Founder
Even in a city that is more recognized for its cowboy culture than its grit-n-grind culture, having a 9 to 5 job is no longer a means of having long-term financial stability. That is why for many inventors and entrepreneurs especially, coworking spaces are the “go-to” place for making connections and gaining entrepreneurial skills. After all, what’s not to love about sipping bottomless cups of your favorite beverage in a quiet, relaxing environment while getting work done?
Here in one of America’s most charming Southern cities of innovation, Dallas offers a plethora of coworking spaces for fellow entrepreneurs to choose from the ever-popular Genius Den to the underrated Business Lounge. While some such as Her.HQ offer childcare services, others such as Genius Den offer free parking and many other amenities needed. Today, we’ll be looking at the top 17 co-working spaces in Dallas.
So without further ado, let’s begin!
The image gives you a geographic understanding and a small summary of each location. Below, I have provided a more in-depth analysis along with our featured co-working spaces, including one dedicated to attorneys!
1. Genius Den
As one of Dallas’s top community and non-profit based coworking spaces and incubators, Dallas offers its members a place to get work done while getting down to the root of poverty.
Located in Deep Ellum, Genius Den offers its members long-term coworking space, speakers, workshops, a Tesla car charging station, free parking, and many other amenities to help them thrive in a world where the underdog business owner doesn’t garner as much respect as their alpha counterparts.
While most coworking spaces offer short-term services, Genius Den goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that even the most novice innovator gets his or her chance to shine!
For those looking to make the most out of their experience at Genius Den, at this time, they are currently offering a year-long workshop titled “CEO Mastermind.”

Originally a 1950s warehouse, the space has since worked on gaining its LEED & WELL Certifications in order to provide its members with a place that is both sustainable and productive to work in.
While GoodWork is geared mainly towards women (both binanry and non-binary), men can also join too. Members can also bring their dog to work too, if they want to.
At this time, they are currently offering its potential members with a free one day trial. For those looking to see if GoodWork is right for them, they can have the opportunity to do so.

From its on-demand craft coffee and bites service to its complementary wellness desks, Common Desk provides its members with the very best of Southern-style hospitality while exposing them to local artists in the area. As such, these features make Common Desk for both independent businesses like RedFin and Fortune 500 companies like Walmart a popular place to work in.
Speaking of coffee, on the third Wednesday of every month, Common Desk hosts a free coffee cupping session. For those looking to collaborate over cups of coffee while learning more about this practice, the next session will be held on January 15th, 2020 from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm CDT.

5. NōD Coworking
Imagine walking into a building where game developers and other creatives are seen walking and collaborating with one another across the hallways. While some are grabbing coffee or tea while discussing some bugs in a specific program in the kitchen, some are testing out games on a giant monitor in the meeting room. Everywhere you turn, there is not a cubicle in sight. Basically, what you see here is a typical sight at NōD Coworking.
While some people would imagine the “ideal game developer” as someone who stays shut inside his or her room all day tinkering with massive amounts of code and hardware devices, here at NōD Coworking, anyone who is interested in creating the life-changing games of tomorrow (including software patent attorneys) is seen collaborating in open environments.
After all, even gamers need to go out for some fresh air every once in a while. Why pay so much money just to be stifled in a room from 9 to 5 (and perhaps beyond)?

As one of downtown Dallas’s very own Generation Startup friendly coworking spaces, Venture X provides its members with all of the bare necessities (unlimited coffee and snacks, meeting rooms, mail service, and so on) for as little as $40 a month.

At this time, they are currently offering free day passes for those who want to give the place a try before buying.

Every month, the space features guest speakers such as photographer and entrepreneur Temi Coker to come and discuss the creative process and how it can be used to help fellow creatives market themselves in a competitive environment.

8. Addison TreeHouse
While it’s one thing to give a fellow entrepreneur a quiet office filled with never-ending amounts of coffee and beer, it’s another to teach that fellow entrepreneur how to use that office in order to help him or her create a sustainable business for generations to come.
Founded by the Town of Addison and the Dallas Entrepreneur Center (aka The DEC), the Addison TreeHouse is a non-profit coworking space that is most noted for its top-notch mentorship program, monthly speakers, and startup-related events.
In this program, budding entrepreneurs connect with seasoned mentors in order to better understand how to run a business from creating a lean canvas to figuring out when and how to pay for patent maintenance fees (for most people, anyway). This way, by the time that they return to their desks, they know exactly as to what their next steps are.
For those who are looking to gather funding but don’t know where to start, Addison Treehouse will be hosting an Investors’ Roundtable event around that subject on Friday, January 24th, 2020 from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm CDT.

9. Dallas Entrepreneur Centre (DEC)
As one of the few coworking spaces in Dallas to offer mentorship programs to aspiring entrepreneurs, the Dallas Entrepreneur Centre (DEC) acts as both a coworking space and an incubator for fresh startups looking to become the next Fortune 500 companies of America.
Since 2013, the DEC has helped startups get themselves off the ground by “blending valuable online and offline [entrepreneurial] resources and events/programs in a much-needed physical presence” from providing businesses with mentors to hosting lunch-n-learn events. As such, they are the predecessor of coworking spaces such as Addison Treehouse and continue to be one of the prime examples as to how a Dallas coworking space should treat their members.
For those who are interested in learning more about company agreements and how they work, the DEC will be hosting a Legal Clinic Lunch N’ Learn on Tuesday, January 14th, 2020 from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm CDT.
