What a perfect place to get things done.
Not recommended for women.
There are a couple of men acting in a way that is uncomfortable to be around as a woman: one man sleeps overnight at the site by hiding in some of the rooms with the lights turned off (this feels uncomfortable as a female member working there late at night during proper opening hours, but with few if any other members around); another man (a member, not staff!) moves women's belongings (including bag, valuable & personal items, hat etc) to another section of the premises without their permission nor knowledge (when you step away for a break), and has said some pretty creepy things, showing a complete lack of boundaries around women. Some other women saw some of this and said it made them feel uncomfortable too.
So I reported this to the management and asked them to review, but they turn a blind eye. (As an ex-Wall Streeter, I'm very used to, and comfortable in, all-men spaces.) This is a critical lack of executive thinking by Cove execs will hamper their growth because this is precisely what puts off potential outside investors (I work with the largest institutional investors in the US on inclusive capitalism) - as well as putting off female customers - and opens them up to litigation risk. In what is a very crowded market, this is a management failure that they can't afford. This is why all-male executive teams are a liability, as Silicon Valley has amply demonstrated: time to start taking women seriously. Raise your game, chaps!
One of two cove.is spots downtown DC. This one is a block farther away from the Gallery Place metro stop and a few buses. The workspaces occupy the top two levels of this building. Uppermost for quiet and conference rooms. First level workspace has coffee, snacks, call boxes and the opportunity to mix a little conversation in. The place has a comfortable and cozy design that includes a variety of wooden desks, couches and chairs.
If natural lighting is important to you, you'll love this space. Super quiet and calm for maximum productivity.
Great really ideal functions as a networking event and business desk.
Creative Investment Research (CIR) referred me to the space and I really like the location.
