Thereafter, we were the co-founders of HotelQuicky (the “Hotel Tonight” of Asia-Pacific), which turned into an OTA generating over $100M in annual GBV (exited in 2017).\n\nAfter HotelQuickly, Raphael then founded GoBeeBike, which was the leading bike sharing company in Hong Kong, before becoming the Head of Asia at Rocket Internet. Chris co-founded GuestReady, which is now the largest short-term rental management company in Europe and the Middle East.\n\nWe have made a lot of learnings in PropTech, hospitality and on-demand marketplaces. We combine these learnings with our own experience in working remotely for the most part of the past 10 years and decided to launch Deskimo in a period where most companies are moving to a hybrid work model. \n\n### **Asks**\n\nWe would love to get your feedback, if you happen to be living in Asia and like to work from different places.

For employers, FlexDesk makes it easy to create spend policies, track bookings, and streamline billing across all employees, geos, & brands._\n\n### **🥴 Problem**\n\n**1 - Search and discovery:** The coworking landscape is fragmented. Less than 65% of people live within a 50 mile radius to a WeWork location. 75% of workers have experienced it taking longer than 30 minutes to identify and book a coworking space.\n\n**2 - Spend controls and tracking:** It is currently hard to create and enforce standardized spend/booking controls. Companies have reported employees renting $400+ daily conference rooms to serve as their ‘personal office’.\n\n**3 - Payments:** Employees are currently required to pay for each booking using a credit card and submit for reimbursement. This is cumbersome for both employees and the company’s Accounting department, especially when dealing with multiple currencies.\n\n### **🔥 Solution**\n\n**1 - Booking engine:** Search and rent from a network of 7,000 coworking locations worldwide - including WeWork, Regus, and thousands of local brands.\n\n**2 - Compliance + system of record:** Create and enforce custom booking/spend policies. Track and analyze all bookings to inform and refine coworking strategy.\n\n**3 - Streamlined billing:** One bill across all employees, geos, and brands.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=68615&key=user_uploads/494003/9795eb02-917f-4ec0-ba42-c3880873f753)\n\n### **💵 Bottom line impact**\n\nFlexDesk is a **win-win-win** across all major stakeholders at a company.\n\n* **For Real Estate teams:** Eliminates manual work that previously took up 15% of their workweek.\n* **For Finance teams:** Unlocks 10% savings compared to going direct with a single coworking brand. Unlocks 60%+ savings compared to a traditional lease strategy.\n* **For People teams:** Empowers employees with the freedom of choice to find a coworking space that fits their needs and within a short commute.\n\n### **🤔 Why do companies use coworking space?**\n\n* **Distributed workforce:** Hiring across the US/world, while simultaneously downsizing and even exiting office leases given low utilization + high opex.\n* **Dynamic space needs:** Established an ongoing need to support employees with space for in-person collaboration, to meet with clients, and to escape WFH.\n* **Flexible and cost-efficient:** Coworking space offers companies the flexibility to address each of these needs at a significantly lower cost than a traditional lease.\n\n**Enter FlexDesk to offer spend controls, data visibility, and a booking engine with global coverage 🌎**\n\n### **😎 How to sign up**\n\nIf your business **currently uses coworking space or is thinking about it**, we would love to chat with you or the appropriate person at your company.

You get human support backed by the best real estate AI anywhere. And it’s all done at no cost to you. Start your search at [tandemspace.com](http://tandemspace.com)\n\n## Why office leasing is broken\n\n**There are thousands of office spaces in a city and no single view of them.** **What exists instead is memory.** A few hundred people, each carrying their own map of the city, built by walking it.\n\nThose maps are good. Brokers who have been doing this for twenty years know their buildings cold, know the landlords, know what a deal should actually cost. **But it's one person's map of a market that changes every week, and there is no version of this job where one person keeps up with all of it.**\n\nSo the process runs on relays. You spend an hour explaining what you need. Your broker spends the week calling the brokers they know, who call the landlords they represent. Eight options come back. You like one. The calls start over. Nobody is doing anything wrong. It just takes days to move a question through a chain of people, and you are one of a dozen searches your broker is running at the same time.\n\nThe economics of this market were built for bigger deals. Commercial leasing grew up around full floors and ten year terms, and everything in it is sized for that. A 3,000 square foot suite on a two year term takes nearly the same work and returns a fraction of it, so smaller spaces get less attention across the board. It's why so many of them go unphotographed, unlisted, and unmentioned. That's most of the market by count.\n\nThe people in this industry are not the problem. This is just what a market looks like when it runs on memory:\n\n**You're seeing only what your broker chooses to show you, prioritized only as much as your deal size warrants, with no way to verify you're getting a fair shake.**\n\n## How Tandem works\n\nOn paper, Tandem is an office leasing brokerage like any other. Same license, same tenant rep fee, same person meeting you in the lobby. **The difference is what that person knows, and how quickly they can act on it.**\n\nEvery Tandem agent works with an agentic brain behind them\\*\\*. It's watching the market constantly: what came available this morning, what a similar unit actually leased for last month, which landlords are flexible on term, what's about to come back online.\\*\\* Knowing the market stops being one person's job, so it doesn't stop when they go home, and it isn't limited to the buildings they've personally walked.\n\nWhat that means for you:\n\n* **You see the whole market on day one**, not on the third callback. Your agent already knows what fits before you finish describing it.\n* **Answers in minutes**, over email, text, or phone, on anything from zoning to what the freight elevator situation is.\n* **You know what it should cost.** Your agent can see what comparable units actually went for, so you go into a negotiation knowing where the number should land.\n* **You don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to.** The same market is browsable at [tandemspace.com](http://tandemspace.com). Compare asking rents, book a tour for tomorrow, bring your agent in whenever you want them.\n* **A 3,000 square foot requirement gets the same attention as a 30,000 one**, because your agent isn’t paid more for a bigger deal.\n\n**The result: clients who search with Tandem see 30%+ more spaces than in a traditional search, and finish about 6x faster. At no cost to you.**\n\n## Start your search with Tandem\n\nWe’re proud to have placed more than 500 companies into offices, including Cursor, Upwork, Apollo GraphQL.
