# CollabLab: Coworking in North Phoenix > A new coworking space opens in North Phoenix for entrepreneurs of all kinds - Author: Curtis Miller - Published: 2009-02-14 - Categories: community, business - Canonical URL: https://millarian.com/posts/collablab-coworking-in-north-phoenix/ ## On Wednesday, February 18th, Phoenix is getting a new coworking space: CollabLab! Mike Montalvo (dead link: http://www.collablab.net/?p=160), the CEO of [automotive electronics company Digital Tuning](http://digitaltuning.com) is opening up two of the four rooms in Digital Tuning's office suite as shared space for creative collaboration. Mike's vision for CollabLab is to provide a space in North Phoenix where people can escape from the isolation of working from home. > I see CollabLab as place for people in north Phoenix to connect. It’s a medium to connect thinkers with…doers so they can accomplish the unthinkable. Together they can work towards a common goal, be it a better recipe or the next web startup. - Mike Montalvo And CollabLab isn't just technology oriented. Mike wants to foster an environment in which entrepreneurs of all kinds can meet, collaborate and thrive. > While there is no doubt tech will be a hot topic, I don’t want to limit CollabLab to just technology. If a chef wants to collaborate with taste testers to improve the recipe, why not? There is no reason coworking spaces have to be tech oriented. - Mike Montalvo It appears that CollabLab already has several full-time members, but they need the support of the Phoenix community to make this a successful endeavor. Here are some things you can do: - Follow [CollabLab on Twitter](http://twitter.com/collablab) - Visit the CollabLab coworking website (dead link: http://collablab.net) - Attend the CollabLab grand opening (dead link: http://www.collablab.net/?p=201) on Wednesday, February 18th - Tell your friends, retweet, write a blog post… share the love Phoenix! Please spread the word about this space and if you know someone interested in sharing a creative, collaborative environment with some great people, direct them to CollabLab. When entrepreneurs like Mike and great ideas like CollabLab succeed, Phoenix and it's inhabitants benefit! ## CollabLab Information and Hours 23021 N 15th Ave, Suite #205 Phoenix, AZ 85027 623.444.2409 info [at] collablab [dot] net **Hours** 8:30am to 6:00pm Mon-Fri
