Mod
There's a new coworking space in San Francisco that wants to give professionals a more luxurious way to be productive.
Founded by brothers Brian and Randy Stowell, who used to work on Google's robotics division, Mod bills itself as a "brilliant new way to work on the go," and plans to set itself apart from other options — like $16 billion behemoth WeWork — by offering a full concierge service and focusing on wellness (if you spend the day there Mod staff will serve you cleansing juices and prompt you to meditate).

Randy worked at Google for several years after it bought his robotics company Bot & Dolly, which created the robot cameras that made actors in 'Gravity' look like they were floating in space.
