Firmspace is an American coworking space operator with headquarters in Austin, Texas.[1]
History
Firmspace was co-founded in 2016 by Matt Ferstler in Austin, Texas.[2] It opened its first facility in Austin in November 2017.[3] Following its launch, Firmspace began expanding to other U.S. cities.[4] A location in Denver was established in 2018,[1] followed by a Houston branch in early 2019.[5][6] In September 2020, its fourth location was opened in Atlanta, Georgia.[7]
In October 2022, Kenny Kane became the chief executive officer (CEO) of Firmspace after previously serving as chief operating officer from 2020 to 2022.[8]
Operations
Firmspace operates four coworking spaces located in Austin, Denver, Houston, and Atlanta. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Firmspace began describing its private offices as a safer alternative to open-plan workspaces.[9][10] Its business model is centered on its "proworking" concept, which provides office suites rather than open-plan desks with standard facilities and focus on privacy.[1][9][11]
