CO-WORKING SPACES AND BUSINESS EVENT VENUES
Peerspace
Peerspace, a peer-to-peer online marketplace where people can find and rent locations for anything from a business meeting, product presentation space, special event, to a cooking class or a movie set. This latest example of a sharing-economy startup gives people access to a broad array of underutilized and under-the-radar spaces.
The startup provides its users access to such locations as office spaces and vacant warehouses, one-of-a-kind art galleries and secret rooftop terraces via its website and iOS app. Behind the scenes, Peerspace has built a sophisticated recommendation engine
that will serve up spaces that are best suited for each corporate or individual user’s needs. If a product team is looking to host an offsite strategy session, the website offers the best places for teams to innovate together and will match that product team with ideal locations.
The startup takes a small commission on each transaction – 15 percent from the person hosting the space and five percent from the customer renting it. The fee includes 24/7 customer support, access to a preferred vendor network for additional services such as catering, and $1,000,000 in insurance liability coverage.
