Coworking community and the company.

I bumped into a new idea today which can be a great asset to a developer in my shoes trying to get a business off the ground. The coworking community with their combined knowledge can fill in the blanks that are missing from my business experience.
I've developed in software projects for the past few years ranging from small business to a world-wide, market-leading corporation. What I haven't had experience with, is what takes a company from a small business to a world-wide, market-leading corporation. The combined knowledge of the coworking community has.
I'm just getting my feet wet with coworking, but I believe this is the route to move an idea to a virtual business and beyond.
I'd like to hear from coworkers who have experience in this atmosphere to validate my ideas of collaborative business growth.

Co-working has really helped me with developing my business. I have a small events management company in Vancouver, Canada and I've been working in a co-working space throughout the development. I am still at the space and it's been a great help to my business. I've made lots of valuable connections and the people I work with have been (and still are) a great help to me when I'm developing new ideas. Plus, it looks much more professional than working in a coffee shop. I would have to say co-working beats working in an office alone, especially for people who are just starting up with their business and want it to grow fast.
