Joshua Baer — founder of Capital Factory and the heart of Austin’s startup scene — has died in a plane crash near Laredo. Over a lunch at the Driskill on Sixth Street years ago, Josh was expanding Capital Factory while I was conceiving TexasCoworking.com; and the principles he later shared from the Capital Factory stage are built into this entire network. We owe him more than we can say.
200+ builders packed the Claude Code Community Meetup in Austin — Joshua Baer presented Agents First. We took the tribute, the talk recap, and the lesson to heart.
This site is now built Agents First — designed to be read and used by AI agents, not just humans. Read the tribute & full talk recap →

Coworking in Austin and across Texas — the basics, answered.
A coworking space is a shared, membership-based workplace where freelancers, remote employees, startups, and small teams rent a desk or private office and share amenities like fast Wi-Fi, meeting rooms, printing, and coffee. Instead of signing a long commercial lease, members pay a monthly fee or a day rate for flexible access.
Pricing depends on the space and the membership tier. A drop-in day pass is the cheapest option; part-time or “hot desk” plans, a reserved dedicated desk, and a lockable private office each cost progressively more, and many spaces discount longer commitments. Because rates change over time and vary by location, check current pricing directly with the space you are considering.
Weigh location and commute, hours of access (24/7 versus business hours only), the membership type you need (hot desk, dedicated desk, or private office), meeting-room availability, internet reliability, parking, and the community or industry focus. Touring in person, or trying a day pass first, is the best way to judge whether a space fits how you work.
Downtown and the central core have the densest concentration, but coworking has spread to East Austin, the North and Domain area, South Austin, and the surrounding suburbs as remote work has grown. Our directory lets you browse spaces across Austin and other Texas metros.
