Jelly wasn't just a coworking space, it was (as far as I understand) the first public coworking space. Surely before Jelly freelancers were working together, but Jelly was the first "come one, come all!" kind of coworking space. And it's free.

I have. He and I won't match, but I will with someone and I look forward to the opportunity to help someone in need.

You have to be South Asian to be a match. Lots of South Asians in South Asia, but not a-lot in the NYC tech community. This is a numbers game.
