I absolutely LOVE this place. I moved to FL in June 2022, but was a member of The Idea Foundry for about a year before I moved. I can’t quite remember how I came across this company, but I had a huge hankering to create. If you’re looking for a new hobby, want to get those creative juices flowing, or just want to explore, this is the place for you. I signed up for a woodworking class (u cant use the machines unless you can prove you know what you’re doing, obvi) and was super nervous bc I thought I’d be the only person in the group to have zero woodworking (WW) experience. Surprisingly, it was a mixed bag of ages, experience, gender. The instructor was incredible (how I wish I remembered his name)! I made some friends too. Unfortunately, there isn’t an Idea Foundry in St. Petes. Try something new, get your booty up, & just take a class or two!! [my only complaint would be: I think I took the WW on a Saturday. I was late and called like 30 mins before to notify them i’d be late. when I got there, the building looked deserted & the doors were locked. it took me, probably another 20 mins, to actually get in. the instructor & the people in the WW class were the only people in the building. there really needs to be a way to contact SOMEONE on the weekend when there are classes.] A few months after the WW class my dad and I took a class on stained glass. It was fun- we had a hoot! tbh, way more difficult than I anticipated. stained glass is no joke 😱 *this is not an ad. did not receive compensation. 😂 I just liked this place a lot. Thank you IF and staff for a great experience! .

Went for the Valentine event, got to create several things and design things. The meal was nice and the staff were helpful and friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Idea Foundry has a 24/7 availability that comes with a monthly membership. Hourly and day passes usually only allow for access during regular business hours.

  • Most, if not all, amenities are available to you as a member, regardless of the type of membership. Some shared spaces, like the meeting rooms, need to be booked in advance and private offices are only available for those with a subscription. However, all the other areas, like the lounge, kitchen and breakout spaces, are usable by every member. All complimentary services are available and anything ancillary can be purchased or negotiated with Idea Foundry.

  • The open desk is the way to go if you’re looking for a flexible workspace in an open environment where you can socialize with other members. Or, choose a dedicated desk if you want a designated space that also allows you to keep in touch with the community.

    A private office works wonders if you or your team need a quiet, secluded space to conduct your work and interact with people in your organization.

    It’s important to understand the different types of coworking arrangements available to you, depending on the type of work that you do and its duration, and whether you’re a solo worker or part of a team.

  • Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go.

    It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with Idea Foundry, who is more than happy to help out.
