The Cambridge Innovation Center<\/a>, where numerous Boston-area startups have spent time, plans to launch similar workspaces in Baltimore and St. Louis, according to a report in Monday’s<\/a> Boston Globe<\/a>. \u00a0<\/em>It also plans to add more space locally.<\/p>

Cambridge Innovation Center<\/p><\/div>

Located in Kendall Square near MIT \u00a0– and with VMware, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, IBM and Oracle offices within a stone’s throw — CIC hosts innumerable hackathons<\/a> and meetups, becoming a hub of the Boston-area startup scene.<\/p>

Startups can rent a desk at CIC’s Cambridge Co-working Center for $535 a month or, if they prefer, they can plunk down $5,200 per month for \u00a0a swank, three-person office with a view.<\/p>

CIC claims to have launched more than 1,000 companies since opening 23 years ago<\/p>

Tim Rowe<\/a>, CEO of the center and a partner at New Atlantic Ventures told the Globe, the goal is to “create communities of people who are making an impact … We really should be doing that everywhere.\u201d<\/p>

Co-working spaces are booming — especially in areas where real estate prices are sky high. Many San Francisco area startups launch from RocketSpace,<\/a> and New York has lots of co-working options<\/a>, as GigaOM’s Ki Mae Heussner has reported.<\/p>
