"It's a downgrade." How many times have you heard this from a traditional company in a sales meeting? As host Marc Navarro and guest Tamara Gimenez discuss in this clip from #TheFlexFactor podcast, it's one of the biggest "mental barriers" coworking operators face. So, how do you break it? You don't sell them "a solution"—you prove it's an upgrade. Don't focus on the shared desks. Focus on what they gain: - Financial agility: their 10-year lease is a rigid liability. Your flexible terms are a strategic asset. That's an upgrade. - Enterprise-grade amenities: do they have a barista, a podcast studio, and a 100-person event space? You do. That's an upgrade. - Zero operational drag: they're buried in vendor contracts for internet, cleaning, coffee, and utilities. You give them one bill and zero headaches. That's an upgrade. - An active ecosystem: their old office was a silo. Your space is a community, a source of new ideas, clients, and partners. That's an upgrade. The "downgrade" perception is our industry's sales challenge to solve. What's the #1 argument you use to successfully shift this mindset?

What one thing in your daily operations causes a massive headache? For many coworking operators in Saudi Arabia, it's payments. You're forced to manually chase invoices and track payments because your system doesn't work with Mada. It’s a "crucial part" of business, as Dr. Abdulrahman Al Saati of Zawiya 97 puts it, but it's a manual one. Hear him talk about the moment they found a fix—and why it made the "easy decision" to finally move away from the "manual way" of doing things. We find it's often the local details like this that make or break an operator's day. What's a "local" challenge in your region that you wish software would solve?

Imagine starting a coworking space in two spare rooms. At your law firm. That's exactly how Tamara Gimenez, a practicing lawyer, launched Teamworks Coworking. She readily admits it wasn't a perfect or polished start. "It was everything but a comfortable space," she told us on our new podcast, "but it was a cool way of trying it out." That experiment led to a powerful insight. The real demand wasn't just from freelancers, but from established companies that "didn't know that yet." This realization fueled a "big bet": a leap from 300 to 4,000 square meters in 2019, right before the world changed because of the pandemic. Many would have panicked, but Tamara's team leaned into their "we are partners, not suppliers" philosophy. It's a value we're proud to support as Teamworks technology partner, and the results were remarkable. The space emerged from the 2020 lockdown with an even higher occupancy rate. It’s a fantastic story of organic growth, listening to your market, and the power of being a true partner to your members. Hear Tamara share her full journey—from two spare rooms to 15,000 square meters—on the new Flex Factor podcast episode with host Marc Navarro.

Here's an insight from Zawiya 97 in Jeddah that really resonated with us. They shared the "major unexpected boost" they received from the Spacebring platform wasn't about saving time (though that was a benefit). It was about community. Their makerspace is located in Al Balad, but there's a large "artisan community all around Jeddah" that hadn’t been connected to them. The platform allowed those 'outside' artisans to easily engage and sign up. The result? New subscriptions, of course. But the real win was the "cultural exchange" that began to take place. This case is a great reminder that a members app can be more than just an admin tool. It can serve as a digital front door for your entire city's community, not just thosealready inside. A question for other coworking operators: how do you encourage people who've never visited your space to join your community?

Have you ever looked around your space and felt like you were just renting out desks and providing coffee? This is a common concern in the coworking industry. We spoke with Tamara Gimenez about this. She started Teamworks Coworking in Buenos Aires with just two spare rooms and grew it into a 15,000m² operation that was featured in Forbes. Her philosophy is simple: stop acting like a supplier and start being a true partner to your members. She shared how this approach not only helped her survive the pandemic but also grow, thanks to the trust she built.  It's a valuable conversation for any space owner who wants to build something lasting. You can listen to the full episode of #TheFlexFactor podcast with Marc Navarro on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or on the Spacebring website under the "Podcast" section.

Switching core operational software (even if it's just Google Sheets) is a major source of anxiety for any coworking business. The fear of data loss, team disruption, and a steep learning curve can be paralyzing. But what if the transition was the easiest part? We were humbled to hear this perspective from Dr. Abdulrahman Al Saati of Zawiya 97, a leading makerspace in Jeddah. In his own words, he describes the feeling before and after the change. The key takeaway wasn't just about becoming "much faster"—it was that the support they received made the migration feel seamless. When the team and the community both love the result, it's a clear sign that the change was worth it. This is a powerful reminder that the human support behind a platform is just as important as the technology itself. For any shared workspace operator considering a change of the core software, what's your biggest concern?

"Build vs. Buy" is a classic dilemma for many coworking operators as they grow. The idea of a custom-built solution can be appealing, promising a perfect fit for every unique need. But what's the real cost? Dilmurod Khodiev, CEO & Founder of C-space, knows this challenge firsthand. With a rapidly expanding coworking business across 8 locations, he faced a critical choice. His insight: "In our experience, building a custom system is expensive and pulls focus away from growing your core business. That's why, with eight active locations, we chose Spacebring. It's a reliable, fully-developed platform that scales with us." Dilmurod's words resonate because they highlight a truth often overlooked: every hour spent managing developers or fixing bugs in a custom system is an hour not spent on member experience, marketing, or strategic growth. C-Space chose to focus on what they do best—creating exceptional coworking spaces—and trusted Spacebring to handle the tech. This decision enabled them to automate 100% of their invoicing, streamline bookings, and scale from 3 to 8 locations in just two years. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes, the smartest move is to leverage proven technology so you can keep your eyes on the horizon. What are your thoughts on building in-house vs. buying a platform for your operations? We'd love to hear your perspective.

Ever had to adjust an invoice after it was already sent? This can create a messy document trail and confusion for your members. Now, there’s a better way to handle this in Spacebring.

The result is a clean, compliant financial record and a clear, automatic notification for your customer. No more "please disregard the previous invoice" emails. This update is designed to make your financial management smoother. How much time and confusion could a cleaner invoicing process save your team each month?

How do you build a premium, multi-location brand during unstable times in the country? This is the question that Ilia Kenigshtein, founder of Creative States, answers every day. He's built a network of high-concept spaces across Ukraine—from a Gilded Age hotel theme to a modern Hogwarts—all of which require flawless execution. Running a business like this, especially now, means operational efficiency isn't just a goal, but the foundation for survival and growth. Every minute spent on manual tasks is a minute not spent on the member experience or strategy. In the video below, Ilia shares a key part of his operational playbook: the software that helps his team work faster and manage their unique spaces effectively. It’s a powerful look at how the right internal systems allow a team to focus on building a world-class brand regardless of the circumstances. You can find a full case study on Spacebring/case studies.
