About the episode
This episode focuses on coworking and the future of coworking. How will companies use coworking offices in the future? How can coworking solutions help to provide branded office experiences for the distributed workforce? To discuss this, I talked with the founder of one of the first coworking spaces in Europe, Christoph Fahle, the founder of Betahaus and the newly launched One Coworking.
About the guest
Christoph founded Betahaus which was one of the first coworking networks in Europe. In our first two years, they managed locations in Berlin, Hamburg, Barcelona, Cologne, and Sofia (2X the square footage than WeWork by that time). They served freelancers, startups, and corporates with flexible workspaces in an amazing entrepreneurial community.
After Betahaus he started his second company called One Coworking which aims to bring the masses of regular employees into coworking through our on-demand workspace solutions that leverages the vast network of hundreds of flex spaces and enables startups and scaleups to manage the workspace needs of their distributed workforce around the globe. They already have exciting companies as customers and are looking to expand their footprint and aim to entirely change the relationships that companies and individuals have with flex workspaces.

Quotes from the show
The workplace is not a nine to five one size fits all solution. It is an individualized solution, and it has individualized needs. And now that the office is breaking, we can start catering to individualized needs.
Every larger organization has integrated co-working or a similar format in their workplace or is still working on it. We are literally at the forefront of innovation here for large organizations regarding workplaces.
Now every company is starting to become, operation-wise, like a coworking space. The HQs, they are getting more flexible. They are more community focused. So what we started as coworking has now just turned into working.
