About

CoHabitat Foundation is a 501(c)(3) who’s mission is to develop the creative economy in North Louisiana by supporting local business and creative workers.

The cornerstone of our work is Cohab, an innovative shared workspace in the heart of downtown Shreveport. Cohab provides members with vital resources such as high speed internet, video and teleconferencing tools, conference room space, and most importantly, a community of like minded entrepreneurs and business owners.

Cohab is real life social networking for small business owners and creative workers in our area.

CoHabitat is on Prezi

CoHabitat Staff: John Grindley

John may not have a PHD, but he ranks his social IQ slightly higher than the average bear. He loves being the resident Cohab evangelist and directing traffic over all of the creative energy flowing through Cohab. Opening up his rolodex or a can of beer to talk Cohab is always on the menu. Cohab is always the soup du jour in what he’s cooking up!

CoHabitat Staff: Jessica Rinne

Jessica isn’t from Shreveport (accent gave it away, huh?), she hails from Pittsburgh, PA by way of Washington DC (where she left because there was nothing nearly as cool there as Cohab). Though her background is in broadcast journalism, she has fully embraced the coworking movement and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. See her for any questions you might have about the space!
