I started a meeting place and coworking space with some friends on a passionate idea on how to create a third place between your home and your office. We didn't have the expertise of the traditional hospitality industry (coffee house). But we learned many things from this venture! ;) I have written a piece on my experience from falling forward, on AMEX's Open Forum.
