Last year, Rofo helped Causes sublease some extra office space and they were kind enough to sit down and talk with us about the process.  Due to the economic situation, many other companies are finding themselves in a similar situation with some extra office space, so it’s great to have such timely insight into subleasing.  Thanks again to Sydney from Causes for sitting down with us.  Check them out at Causes.com and at Facebook.com/Causes.

Causes, founded, by Joe Green and Sean Parker (founder of Napster), grew out of the “belief that in a healthy society, anyone can participate in change by informing and inspiring others.” Causes helps non-profits and other charitable organizations harness the connectedness of social networks to raise awareness and funds for their “Cause”.   With Causes anyone can create a “Cause” and then build up the group around it by interacting with members and the community.  They have about 25 million active users on Facebook, pretty impressive.
