Private space at a fraction of the square footage for Coworking teams in Austin, TX

Austin coworking operators compete on amenities, and private space is the one members ask for first.

The problem

Private space is priced by the foot. A small conference room takes 150 sq ft or more off the floor plate, and you pay that rent every month whether the room is occupied or not.

An operator sells square footage, so any privacy that consumes less of it and still commands a premium changes the unit economics of the floor.

What renting changes

A pod delivers the same privacy in 12 to 16 sq ft. The rent you save on the difference is the honest comparison, and in higher-cost metros it covers a meaningful share of the pod itself.

Installed across the Austin metro from our downtown Congress Avenue base.

Why it works for coworking: Around 30% of our customers rent again, and operators often start with a short first term.
