It's certainly an interesting idea, and I have to admit it's one I've pondered over in the past as being an 'opportunity' for a small competitive advantage in closing a deal.
The biggest problem is capital tie-up. Buildings are expensive, in Cali, they are even more expensive. I've always wanted to try this idea though, perhaps in a large converted-warehouse or even a traditional down-town office-space somewhere like Austin.
Again though we must ask ourselves, what's more likely to help a start-up, office-space (in a time when more and more companies are moving towards virtual working arrangements), or an additional 100k/200k? Just some food for thought, like I said, if done right, it could be a very good perk to offer, but it's hard to justify the cost.
Cough And, shameless self-promotion, I'm looking to move into the VC space in an entry-level analyst/associate position if anyone has any exciting opportunities. Or even boring opportunities, I like boring too. :)
