10 questions for Campbell McKellar, Founder of Loosecubes

Share This

The easiest way to explain Loosecubes is …
a global office sharing community.

The idea came from…
a summer I spent in Maine. I was able to strike a remote work arrangement with my (then) employer. I realized I could do my job remotely but sometimes I needed a more productive place to plug in and work. I dreamt about an artist’s barn with wifi and a view of the pine trees. I created Loosecubes to help everyone find their dream workspace, wherever they happen to be.

In the early days of Loosecubes I focused on…
building a community of true fans and listening to them. Loosecubes is and always will be driven by the feedback from our community, and we’ve been able to create a better user experience because of it. We’re working hard every day to incorporate all this feedback!

Favorite Loosecubes success story so far…
Bizperc, a company in Kansas City, MO joined Loosecubes, and 10 minutes later received their first reservation request by someone in their local community. They’ve embraced Loosecubes as a means to build their business and foster innovation, which is pretty incredible.

The biggest challenge to overcome is…
shared by most community marketplaces - creating market liquidity.

I knew it was the right time to quit my job and work on Loosecubes full-time when…
my family, friends, and colleagues gave me the support I needed to take the plunge.

Something I would do differently next time is…
learn Ruby on Rails and javascript first!

My big piece of advice to social entrepreneurs is…
to not lose sight of the reason you started your business in the first place. It’s that spirit that wakes me up everyday excited to create something that will hopefully change the world and the way we work.

A productivity habit I could not do without is…
working in Loosecubes! Being able to plug in and meet other creatives, entrepreneurs, and business owners in professional environments all over the world has been incredibly valuable to me. I’m able to be wherever I need to be without compromising my business (and sanity).

Another start-up I have my eye on…
Skillshare has done an amazing job of growing their community organically in a really meaningful way. I love how Vayable creates unique in-person experiences too.
