Epicentral

What Epicentral does

Epicentral (legal name Epicentral Coworking) is a privately held coworking-space operator founded by co-founder Lisa Tessarowicz and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company runs two downtown locations: Epicentral Main, a 10,000 sqft dedicated building at 415 N. Tejon Street with 21 offices, 8 dedicated desks, 5 meeting rooms, hot desks, and an event space; and Epicentral at The Carlton, a 4,500 sqft floor (5th floor of the historic Carlton Building) at 13 S. Tejon Street with 12 offices, 3 dedicated desks, 1 meeting room, and hot desks. Combined inventory is 33 offices, 11 dedicated desks, 6 meeting rooms, plus hot-desk and event-space capacity; both locations offer 24/7 access, 1000 Mbps wired/wireless internet, phone booths, kitchens, printing, a mailing address, and an on-site community Slack.

The customer base is fundamentally horizontal and consumer/SMB: freelancers, independent professionals, telecommuters, small-business owners, side-hustlers, and coffee-shop nomads seeking a professional workspace without traditional lease overhead. Named member entities span vegan culinary instruction (JL Fields Consulting), athletic coaching (Podium Training Systems), publishing (Aaron McHugh), operations consulting (Michelle Parvinrouh), design education (Designlab), documentary filmmaking (Guerin Pictures), workers' compensation law (Ruegsegger, Simons, Smith & Stern), and emerging-technology entrepreneurship (Chris Franz). Revenue is generated entirely through tiered recurring membership subscriptions plus ancillary fees: Day Pass at $30/day, a required $55 2-Week Trial, Part Time at $175/month, Full Time at $275/month, Dedicated Desk at $375/month, and Private Offices ranging from $525-$1,500/month, plus $55/month parking. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the epicentral.org website, the Proximity-powered member portal, a mobile app on iOS and Android, in-person and virtual tours (Calendly, Matterport, Vimeo), and social channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).

The underlying technology stack is the Proximity coworking management platform (a mutual technology partnership), which powers the member portal, reservations system, member directory, jobs board, and the Proximity Mobile App. There are no proprietary patents, AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or disclosed integrations beyond Proximity. Complementing the core tech are amenity partnerships (Loyal Coffee, Pressed4Time) and a local merchant discount program spanning food, beverage, fitness, and software tools. The operating model is bootstrapped: no funding rounds, no parent company, no acquisitions, and headcount of 1-10 employees. Ownership and management appear independent and founder-operated.
