AuSIM Garage: Details
A shared facility for small R&D teams
Most co-working sites are great for a sterile office with a few plants, a coffee machine, and amenities.   The AuSIM Garage R&D co-work facility differentiates itself for those that like to spread-out and make things, but need a little more structure than a hacker space.    

How It Works
Exclusive Space Clients have an option to secure dedicated space for their exclusive use.   Such areas are defined by a "parcel" or a "desk" as a sub-parcel area.  

Some clients have started with one parcel, then added a desk, then another parcel as their needs grow.  

Shared Community Space High-bay, huddle room, conference room, and wash room are examples of shared community space (currently more than 800 sq.ft. and growing).   Parcels that have not been claimed are also available as shared community space.   On any given day, a client can spread-out on temporary fixtures such as folding tables in the community space to do a project.   At the end of the day, the client packs it back into their exclusive space.   Or with the approval of the co-working members, they can leave it set-up stretching multiple days.  
When to take-up residence in the AuSIM Garage Any or all of the following:
  • You and your buddies are tired of working in your bedroom.
  • Your garage is too cold in winter and too hot in summer.
  • You are not ready to commit to a year's lease.
When to move out on your own Any or all of the following:
  • You earned an angel round and have enough to commit to a year's lease.
  • You need a production facility.
  • Your team has grown larger than 6.
  • You are cash-flow positive and can afford your own place.
  • Your dog and pony show fell flat and your F&F won't give you more play money.
If you like it in the AuSIM Garage and have not outgrown it, you can stay as long as you want.

Example Fees
Facility Fees Space can be made exclusive to individuals or companies on a per parcel or per desk basis.   Each parcel carries a different rate and are negotiable.   Typical parcel prepaid rates are $450/week to $1200/month.  

There are options for less than a parcel as well.  We call this the "per desk" option, but a desk does not need to be used.  It amounts to the equivalent space around a desk, or about 40 sqft.  Each parcel accommodates three "desks" in the desk configuration.  

Entities without exclusive space, pay a nominal $150/month for using shared facilities only. 

Community Fees The per person "community fee" may also be thought of as membership dues.   Prepaid rates are $25/day, $50/week, or $120/month.   Community fees are independent of facility fees.  

For members who are not tied to dedicated facilities, shared space availability is not guarranteed, but can be reserved.  

 
Agreements
Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Intellectual property is extremely important to all members of the AuSIM Garage community.  Because the facility is intended for R&D activities realizing ideas into physical products, the intellectual property of members cannot always be hidden from the view of other members.  All members must agree to mutual respect and confidentiality for all other members.  If a violation is suspected, the member's access is immediately revoked until the suspicions are investigated.  Proven violations result in explusion from the community and a forfeiture of any deposits.  A violated member can pursue additional legal action.
