Why Does a Small Austin Club Survive Losing Half?

Zac Solomon calls a small rented room probably the most sustainable way to run a community in Austin. He is a little younger and takes very minimal risk. The space is pretty small, and if half the members drop off, the club is still OK. A gigantic pool of people can be onboarded at whatever price point is needed, so Zac Solomon is not going under.

Zac Solomon knows seven other writing clubs and says one more of them should have a clubhouse. Craft clubs, book clubs, accounting clubs, and startup clubs belong in the same picture. Fiesta is quite a large startup community and has no physical space. Zac Solomon says Fiesta probably could add one, and says Fiesta would probably serve the community better if it did not.

Zac Solomon still wants the next five years to bring a bunch of modular community spaces in very small pockets all over Austin, each built around a particular interest, and calls the pattern very sustainable for a lot of people.
