Today we’d like to introduce you to Bill Bennett.
Bill, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
When I started my first business in 2007, I began to search for a bright, vibrant office space. With a growing company, I was eager to be located in a vibrant downtown area, but brokers turned me down when they learned I wasn’t interested in a long-term lease. I didn’t know yet whether I was going to have one employee or ten, and I didn’t want to start a construction project or make a long-term commitment.
After looking at a few dingy sublets and several very 1980s-feeling Regus centers, I settled for an affordable but basic incubator space. I soon realized that without a sense of community and common space to interact with other businesses, I was spending ten hours a day in my office without speaking to anyone.
Meeting other entrepreneurs who felt similarly dissatisfied with the available options, I decided to use my expertise in niche real estate (my first business focused on student housing) to found Level Office and create budget-friendly, amenity-rich office space to help small businesses thrive.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
