Anybody who works with coworking or shared spaces, knows that they are not straight-forward real-estate businesses.

Shared spaces offer so much more than just a few square meters (or feet for those non-metric-system folk) in exchange for a set fee. They are people-centric organisations that put in the time and resources to build a sustainable and comfortable community that is at the same-time vibrant, active and is given all the tools it needs to change the way our world works. With this in mind, we’ve redesigned the profiles of our 778 desk-hosting partners.

To make a long-story short, shared spaces deserve a profile that shows off their critical differentiator: their community. So, instead of diving straight into the nitty-gritty of prices and descriptions, we’ve opted to show off each spaces’ community first.

This not only shows some love for the great effort that goes into creating and maintaining the businesses atmosphere of each space, but also allows us to introduce the individuals who are growing fantastic businesses from these spaces.

All current guests of any of our partner spaces can join their respective community section just by clicking on the “I already Work Here” button on their host’s profile page. This is the first piece of our vision for a larger business community that spans past the bricks and cities of the real world, but more on that later in our next few updates.

If you run a shared space that isn’t included yet, jump on board or find out more information on how we work here.
