With over 250+ spaces across the U.S. sometimes it can be hard to decide which Deskpass space to choose…That’s why we like to highlight our spaces and let them tell you what makes them unique! This time we’ve got the inside scoop on Fueled Collective in Chicago’s Fulton Market District.

List 3 words to describe the environment of your space (what it feels like to work there)?
Relaxing, Inspiring, Tasty

What is the coolest looking thing in your space?
The Kitchen! It looks like Martha could host a cooking show here.

What’s the wackiest idea you’ve thought of implementing in your space?
Nap pods. One of our long term members help put these things into spaces and they’re incredible. keep your eyes open of it.. ironically.

How does your space embody the neighborhood?
Hidden away in a back alley entrance ya gotta know where it is. It’s a throw back to Chicago’s speakeasy past.

What is the coolest thing you’ve seen happen amongst members?
As The Mom Project began to grow from being two of our dedicated members to getting in Crain’s 40 under 40. Real tear jerker.

Why do you believe in coworking?
We want to add a real human connection back into the workday.

What’s the best part about getting new coworkers from Deskpass?
Some of our coolest friends, members and opportunities come from deskpassers. A freelance translator deskpassed here three times and before long had a contract with one of the french companies based in the space. It’s such a great way to generate more of those connective moments.

In case we forgot to mention…We’re a monthly membership that currently gives you access to these spaces and 250+ in Chicago, NYC, SF, LA, Austin, Denver, Boston, and Miami. We think Deskpass is a fantastic way to explore coworking, get you out of your home office or your local cafe and around a bunch of vibrant communities of lovely folks.

Try us out for 30 days to see what it’s all about!
