Jellies or Jelli is an informal regular gathering of independent workers who convene or choose to ‘hang out’, in a cafe or ‘free’ workspace for a day, and work or converse from the local Wi-Fi connection. Similar to coworking, it provides a community vibe and allows workers to escape the loneliness of working from home. Jellies are ideal for home-workers or freelancers who want an occasional, low-cost alternative to the home office.
Jelly is a relatively new concept that expands on the idea of coworking. It started in 2006 when two home-based freelancers in New York decided to get together to stave off loneliness. The gatherings are always free and can be held anywhere providing there are Wi-Fi and easy access to coffee.
