Funding/space logistics discussion:
- Realistically, any space may require initial payments that are higher than our current assets
- Discussion of optional membership fees ahead of the space being opened (to build up capital that would go towards early payments on the space)
 
    - This is limited by the fact that we have no model at the moment for what being a "paying member" means.
 
- What would the pitch be to potential landlords?
 
    ---> Computer club


    -How can we turn a profit?
