Located at 1801 Reston Parkway across from Reston Town Center, weSpace provides low-cost offices and creative workspaces for solopreneurs, startups and digital creatives. It establishes a location, community and network for tech-enabled economic development in Northern Virginia and throughout the Capitol region.

More than just low-burn office space for startups, weSpace is designed to advance technology, business, culture, policy and investment in the digital economy.

“It’s how the future works,” says Dale Peskin, co-founder of the digital innovation agency We Media that created weSpace . “Northern Virginia is a hub for brilliant developers, entrepreneurs and change-agents who are, quite literally, reinventing the world from our community.  weSpace is designed as place for  innovators to work and collaborate. It’s a community that cultivates world-changing ideas and  facilitates the connections that provide access to the essentials for success: knowledge, talent, resources, expertise, funding and attention.”

As a pilot project, We Media reconfigured its offices at Lake Anne Village in Reston into  co-working space two years ago. The space filled quickly, launching several tech startups. weSpace now extends the concept in the heart of the expansive technology corridor stretching from Washington, D.C. to Dulles Airport in Fairfax County.

Canvas Solutions, developers of mobile applications for business and one of the nation’s hottest “new economy” companies, is a founding sponsor and co-developer of the Reston Town Center site. The fast-growing company has established its headquarters there.

“The vital connections at weSpace spurs entrepreneurship and economic development throughout Northern Virginia,” says CEO James Quigley. “Leading change for the benefit of all is at the core of what we do at Canvas. We’re excited to help launch a community in Reston where local entrepreneurs can take their their ideas into turn them into successful businesses in this new, digital age.”

In addition to Canvas and We Media,  two other tech-forward companies – AppTap and the nonprofit think tank iFOCOS — have opened offices at weSpace as charter members.

weSpace is member-based. Membership is open to startups, small teams and solopreneurs who can reserve private offices or workspaces by the month, or drop in by the day to use common areas, meeting rooms, collaboration campfires, and planning rooms.  High-speed wireless access is available throughout the site, as are monitors, digital equipment and whiteboards. A coffee bar, kitchen and video-game arcade are open to all on-site members.
