[DIYbio] Advice on biohacker space growth/sustainability please!

G'day all,

I'm just getting involved with the Sydney group (BioHackSyd and BioFoundry) - there's a wicked space, some cool gear, a small core team, and a slightly larger semi-regular community.

Here's the challenge: how do we grow this sustainably?

I mean more than just keeping the lights on. One immediate and core goal is to have a reliable and sufficient revenue stream that we can employ at least one member of staff to really push this thing. I have a lot of ideas, but I wanted to throw this out to the community.

When it comes to growing a sustainable community of deeply-engaged members, what advice can you offer? Does anyone successfully run a biohacker space as a full-time job? How did that happen?

We have a lot going on and a lot of ideas, but all perspectives welcome. At some point, I'd also love to organize some kind of growth-hack Skype call at some point so we can brainstorm/workshop this up, after some discussion in the forums/mailing lists.

Cheers!
