Be Brutally Helpful
YOUR DETAILS:
1. The Space — The Palmer
The Palmer will not just be a place to meet or work, not just a social club, but a gathering space built around curiosity, culture, curated experiences and serendipitous connection.
If The Palmer existed today, how would you most want to use it?
Select up to three:
2. The Programming
We see The COOP as a place where intellectually curious people come together through culture, conversation, and shared experience. The programming at The Palmer won’t be the obvious stuff. It will focus on emerging voices, unexpected experiences, and genuinely interesting people and ideas. The kind of thing you tell a friend about the next day.
The list below is meant to be illustrative, not exhaustive. A sense of the texture we’re after.
Which of these would you actually show up for?
Select up to three:
3. The Pricing
We want this to be worth it, for you and for the community. The goal is to price this in a way thatreflects the value of the experience.
What annual price feels fair for a Palmer membership?
Includes full access to the club, programming, partner perks, and community.
4. The Collective — An Idea We’re Testing
The Palmer will live in Cambridge, but the community we’re building doesn’t have to. An idea has started to take shape: a COOP Collective membership to include those who don’t live nearby. We’re bringing the Palmer experience to you.
Imagine access to the broader COOP ecosystem through partnerships and perks, invitations to programming wherever it travels, editorial content, curated recommendations, and access to the club whenever you’re back in town.
A way to stay genuinely connected to this community, regardless of geography.
If you’re not local to the Boston / Cambridge area, how often are you here?
If you don’t live close to Cambridge, would a COOP Collective membership interest you?
Which aspects of a COOP Collective membership would be most interesting to you?
Select up to three.
Time to be brutally helpful... would you be willing to pay for this?
A COOP Collective membership would be priced lower than The Palmer, reflecting its remote nature: the platform, programming invites, and club access when in town, without the day-to-day use of the physical space.
