Overview

Upflex offers a suite of SaaS solutions and a global marketplace that aggregates flexible workspaces and connects occupiers, brokerages and flex-space providers. The company is the sole aggregator of WeWork inventory following an exclusive partnership that expanded its network to more than 6,000 bookable locations across 80 countries and 900 cities, with 700+ other flex operator partners. Upflex’s data-driven platform provides employers and employees with booking, portfolio management and real-time usage data to optimize hybrid work, sustainability and costs. Founded in 2018, the company positions its technology as the backbone of the flex industry and a standard for hybrid workplace operations. Upflex plans to expand its software offering, recruit talent, and grow its network to 30,000 bookable workspaces by 2025. The company reported total funding to-date of $34.1 million following the new round. Upflex operates a global marketplace for flexible workspaces, giving companies on-demand access to private offices, desks, and meeting rooms by the day, week, month, or year. The platform emphasizes sustainability through a partnership with Trees.org and claims to plant a tree for every booked area; it has planted 10,000 trees thanks to its first 100 clients. Upflex positions itself as a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to large operators and targets medium and large companies looking to reduce real-estate commitments and carbon footprints while offering workplace choice to employees. The company was founded in 2017 by Christophe Garnier and Ginger Dhaliwal and is New York–based. In addition to its marketplace, Upflex recently hired Liassine Talbi, a former IWG Regus executive, as global sales lead. The company plans to expand its standard office options and meeting-room booking capabilities.
