The Problem


With the rise of remote work, it’s more difficult than ever to find an ideal working environment

Source 1Source 2Source 3, Source 4 


Problem 1 - Employers desperately need remote work amenities: 


We believe the rise of remote work has broken the traditional office model leaving employers and remote workers demanding flexible, low-cost workspaces outside of home or office. Current options cannot fulfill the growing needs of remote-workers and have fundamentally broken unit economics.”

Remote Work on the Rise: From saving over an hour in daily commute time to having more flexibility and time with family - many remote workers are not eager to return to the office. In fact, the BBC conducted their Future Forum research and found that only 12% want to return to full-time office work, and 72% want a hybrid remote-office model moving forward1. As we’ve seen from the pandemic, working from home is not ideal for many people, who are seeking quiet, private, fully-equipped spaces. However, the current remote-work options for consumers are limited by high price points, lack of flexibility, and more. Moreover, the business models behind them have limited scalability. 


Employers Looking to Downsize: Meanwhile, employers who traditionally sign 2, 5, or 10-year leases are stuck paying expensive rent even while their offices remained largely empty throughout the pandemic. The pandemic has substantiated the theory that employees can be just as productive if not more when working remotely and that employers can save an average of $11,000 per year by letting employees telework (source 1,2). This has employers looking for flexible office solutions that meet their changing needs and meet their employees' demands for flexible, safe, remote workspaces.


Problem 2 - Commercial real estate providers are losing money with fast-increasing underutilized spaces


Today’s commercial real estate providers are seeing an exodus of retailers and are urgently looking to reinvent their underutilized spaces, generate revenue, and attract new visitors to the mall

Store Closings: Even before the pandemic dealt a heavy blow to the US economy, brick, and mortar retail stores were already suffering from consumers switching to online shopping. In the last 20 years, e-commerce retail sales have gone up more than 22x, according to the U.S. Census Bureau which has led to mass store closings.2  In turn, real estate providers are left with major vacancies and are desperately searching for innovative retail tenants who redefine the ‘shopping mall experience’ and introduce ‘hybrid models' for living, working, shopping, and more.

The Solution


Zenspace creates a mutually beneficial model:

We partner with the world’s top real estate to offer on-demand workplaces for remote workers and revitalize retail properties.

For Remote Workers & Employers: On demand workspace. Anytime, anyplace.

*While ZenSpace has deployed a fully-functioning app, we are still in the beta-testing and development of certain features. For this reason, some of our application screenshots are mockups generated for illustration purposes only.


Benefits for remote workers & employers:


  • Fast-growing network: One of the fastest-growing networks of on-demand, shared workspaces in central locations near you 

  • Convenient online booking: Book by the hour or day through the ZenSpace mobile app, website or in-person kiosks.

  • Affordable plans: Remote worker and employer pre-paid starting as low as $200 dollars

Benefits For Real Estate Providers:


  • Optimize Space: Transform underutilized space into revenue-generating remote-work amenities that can be booked by the hour or day

  • Generate Revenue: Generate a new, high-margin revenue stream that has the potential to scale over time

The Market


Flexible Real Estate is expected to grow by over 17%

Remote work:

  • Facebook, Apple, Google, and Twitter have indicated that work-from-home is here to stay.3

  • 74% of companies expect employees to continue working remotely after the pandemic, which has employees demanding safe and productive workspaces.4

  • The global market value of flexible workspaces is $26 billion and this number is only expected to rise, with a global average annual growth rate of 15%.4, 4.1 

  • The number of coworking facilities will reach 36,000 by 2025, from 18,000 in 2019. Of these 32,000 about half are coworking spaces, the rest are other types of flexible workspace solutions.44.1

  • The top three largest global players (IWG, WeWork, Servcorp) represent only 18% of the total flexible workspace market.4

Real Estate Market:


  • In the United States, vacancy rates across the retail sector hit an average of 20 percent in the second quarter of 2020. 

  • Physical retail locations, such as shopping malls and free-standing stores, suffered a particularly heavy blow from the COVID-19 pandemic.6 

  • Coresight Research estimates 25% of America’s roughly 1,000 malls will close over the next three to five years. 

  • According to data pulled by Moody’s Analytics REIS, an apartment development in the U.S. is expected to be down 15.6% in the post-Covid-19 world. Office development is set to drop 10%, it said, while retail falls 15.7%.

Our Traction


Partnerships with Vegas Convention Centers and spaces in LA, SF, & NYC

In the last 90 days ZenSpace has:

  • Contracts: Opened 4 new locations, and have signed 6 new contracts with top real estate providers including Westfield, Brookfield, Simon Group, JLL, and Hyatt hotels for upcoming locations.  Launched alpha site in partnership with Westfield in San Jose and began monetizing immediately due to high demand.

  • Optimization: Reduced CapEx by 50% through re-engineered proprietary SmartPod and supply chain. 

  • Technology: Full software backend and front-end built and deployed with new IOT and data platform

  • Partnerships: Secured partnerships with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield,  JLL, Brookfield Properties, representing the US /Europe’s largest real estate operators and 1000s of Class A retail and commercial properties.

  • Revenue: To date, our lifetime revenue stands at $470k.

What We Do


Provide remote workers and real-estate providers with revenue-generating remote-work amenities

  1. Low CAPEX Infrastructure: We partner and profit-share with real-estate providers to transform underutilized spaces into fast, flexible workspaces that generate a revenue with tech-enabled automated reservations and secure entry.

Technology: We provide a data platform for real estate providers to list, manage and operate spaces remotely while offering remote workers a mobile application to rent spaces by the hour or day, anytime and anyplace.

*While ZenSpace has deployed a fully-functioning app, we are still in the beta-testing and development of certain features. For this reason, some of our application screenshots are mockups generated for illustration purposes only.


2. Customer Acquisition: We sell pre-paid subscription plans at an average cost of $5 per seat per hour for remote-workers, while offering employers up to an additional 40% off when buying in bulk. We are hyper geo-targeted marketing campaigns in the areas surrounding our ZenSpace locations with a combination of high-touch lead generation for enterprises, and social media ads for remote workers.

More information here: www.Zenspace.io/remoteworkers

The Business Model


We believe that ZenSpace has a “Blue Ocean” strategy that combines low-overhead with an extremely novel business model which will allow us to gain market share and increase the total size of the pie.


An asset-light and efficient model that flips the economics of coworking:


  • Low Capex: Profit-sharing allows us to tap into Class A retail space at no fixed cost to Zenspace. Proprietary pods result in an 80%+ reduction in CapEx to open a Zenspace compared to traditional co-working ($33/ sq ft for Zenspace vs. ~$200/ sq ft. for coworking).1

  • Low Opex: $20K annual Opex with 60%+ gross margins at scale due to fully automated spaces, removing the need for staffing. 

  • Strong Projected Financials: $70K upfront investment and $20K annual Opex may yield a projected $1Mn in 5 years consolidated revenue with over $250K returned to the real estate partner and $500k+ cash flow positive.

  • Fast Scalability: Our real-estate partners allow us to scale quickly as they have 5+ properties within a market resulting in instant density.

  • Customer Acquisition: Highly efficient customer acquisition due to organic retail footfall and bottom-up network effects within businesses. We sell prepaid subscription plans at an average cost of $5 per seat per hour to remote workers with an additional 40% off for employers when buying in bulk.

How We Are Different


Source 

Decentralized Franchise: ZenSpace empowers any real estate owner to open their own remote work amenity, at a fraction of the traditional cost. Much like how car-sharing created a tectonic shift within the transport industry.

Low CAPEX & Highly-Scalable Supply: We offer revenue-generating solutions to real estate partners allowing us to tap into Class A retail space and scale supply extremely quickly and at low cost.


Use of 3rd Spaces: We offer remote work amenities exclusively in 3rd spaces - mixed-use spaces in between the home and office, such as malls, airports, and more.

Built For Flexible, Distributed workforce: WeWork, Industrious, and IWG are pivoting from flexible models to provide long-term outsourced offices to improve profitability. We do the very opposite.

Unique, Inexpensive Product: We offer employers and remote workers unique, flexible, and customized remote work solutions and packages to fit every customer need. 

*Comparison data computed based on user experience.

Our Team


We are an award-winning, ambitious team with a proven track record for delivering results.

  • Expansion: We plan to expand over 40 cities across the US in the next 3 years - with each city which is poised to represent a $20 million dollar market or $1 Billion market across the US with similar growth potential in the UK. Our goal is to expand to over 120 cities globally by the end of 2024.

  • Lean Business Model: Through our novel real-estate partnership program we maintain a low CAPEX, low OPEX and a lean business model with very little risk 

  • Make Way for The Sharing Economy of Workspaces: We envision our brand revolutionizing the future of work, becoming the premier source for a flexible, on-demand, remote workspaces in ‘third-spaces’

📍IMPORTANT: A letter from our founder and CEO, Mayank Agrawal & a big THANK YOU from the ZenSpace team 💌

Dear ZenSpace followers,

As our campaign comes to a close, I want to extend my most sincere thank you for your support. 

The pandemic was hard on ZenSpace, as it was for many of us. For us, it meant a shutdown of our business in events and travel industry. We entered the year without knowing how we would emerge, and the year was nothing short of surprising. 

Despite its many challenges, the pandemic also brought new avenues for growth. Social distancing paved the way for ubiquitous remote work policies and “work from anywhere” became a household term. As retail vacancies hit an all time high, commercial spaces on every corner became eager to revitalize their properties with innovative and hybrid offerings like ZenSpace. 

I started ZenSpace with a simple mission: to empower business travelers and remote workers to book smart workspaces, with the click of a button. Anytime, Anyplace.  

And guess what? We have not only executed on our vision, but we have done so much more.  Which is why, in only 9 months, ZenSpace has secured partnerships with the world’s top real estate providers including Westfield, Brookfield, Simon Group, JLL and Hyatt hotels. These partnerships have secured our proof of concept, as well as refined our revenue-sharing model which is now our super power.

Profit sharing has allowed us to keep our costs low - no mortgages and low CAPEX - and scale at speed - a single real-estate partnership can enable 100+ ZenSpace locations at once. This puts us at an unprecedented advantage when compared to our competitors, who invest millions in time, energy and resources when opening a single location. 

We are proud of how far we have come and more importantly of the community we have built. We would not have gotten this far without you. Thank you. 

In the last days of our campaign, we urge you invest before its too late and to share ZenSpace with friends, family, and anyone who may be interested in joining our family. We will continue to skyrocket and reach new heights but no matter how far we grow, we will not forget how we got there. Keep your eyes peeled for exciting updates from us in your inbox for the months to come. 

Sincerely,

Mayank 

CEO and Founder of ZenSpace

Time to Sell! 🤑 Email Blast to 100s of Bay Area Employers

Dear ZenSpace Followers, 

This week we spoke with a few enterprise clients - employers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we are excited by our results!

Here is a preview of the email that went out.

"  🧑‍💻Remote work is here to stay and can be saving you thousands. Get ahead of the curve/transition with ZenSpace.


Guess what? The traditional office model in San Francisco is broken. 

The pandemic accelerated the already tectonic shift towards “Work From Anywhere”. And for good reason. Top employers in the Bay Area - Facebook and the like - have discovered just how easy it is to transition and the huge return on investment it has in overhead savings, employee satisfaction and productivity. 

 

Hesitant to return to office? You're wise.

As the uncertainty of a second lockdown looms and return-to-office anxiety prevails amongst employees, we don’t blame you for forgoing a binding, long-term lease. In fact, studies show that doing so may bear huge unforeseen costs on our teams through employee dissatisfaction and flight.

 

The numbers are in. Remote work is here to stay. 

Traditional office model is out and hybrid and flexible remote work solutions are in. Why? Here are just 3 data-backed reasons why now is the perfect time to transition to remote work:

1. Make your employees happier and more productive.

By and large employees dread returning to long commutes, cubicles in dreary office buildings, and inflexible schedules and cafeteria food. Shocking, right? 

The once status quo is at a critical turning point. Why? According to Stanford studies, remote work dramatically boosts employee happiness and productivity* which is why 74% of companies expect employees to continue working remotely after the pandemic.*

2. Tap into a widened talent pool of workers.

“Work from anywhere” also means tapping into a diverse pool of remote workers who are eager to join companies like yours. Why limit your hiring, when you can access some of the world’s top talent at a fraction of the cost, provided they have internet access.

3. Save big & grow your business with a competitive edge. 

Did you know? Employers save an average of $22,000 per employee a year by letting them telework*. It is no doubt that the Bay Area’s top companies, Twitter, Facebook and the like, have shifted to remote-work policy. It just makes business sense. 

🏁  Now’s the time to get ahead of the curve… but where to start?

We specialize in the transition to remote-work and have been working with companies like yours to save you a lot of money. And Its working well. We have set up 3 fully-equipped workspace solutions in the Bay Area’s top retail destinations - which employees can book from their smartphones, with flexible monthly memberships or drop in rates. And, if you’re looking for your very own space, ZenSpaces offer custom turn-key satellite offices - saving you the hassle and costs associated with re-opening the office. 

ZenSpace is here to help. 

If you’re curious about the remote work model, how to transition, or how much your firm can be saving, we can help. Schedule a free consultation call with our remote work expert today.  "

How ZenSpace is different from WeWork? How is ZenSpace's business plan different from WeWork? I still couldn't visualize the workplace scatter in multiple places.

Hi Mayank, I am an investor and I love this idea, but I am also wondering if this company is on the stock market or NAS. Thank you for your time. Jim Richardson Jr

Hello. Pods are now installed in public places. What steps are taken to make sure that the next user of the pod won't catch COVID from the previous user? It is a confined place after all.

Hi Ilya, great question. Did you get a chance to review our SafeSpace announcement a few weeks ago? https://www.zenspace.io/covid-response We are combining a strict software based tracking and physical cleaning of pods. We plan to go live at the mall in early February while we await final confirmations from various authorities.

Hello, thank you for your time. May I have some help in understanding what is the reason for $0 in account receivables during the most recent fiscal year, and prior year as well. That is documented in the offering circular on SEC website.

Hi Jake, accounts receivable reflects the pending invoices with customers which are yet to be received. In case of ZenSpace, all our revenue is collected ahead of time through the mobile and web app. Hence, the accounts receivables are $0. Hope this answers your question. Thanks so much for your question. Let me know if I was able to address your question.

Thank you for the quick reply Mayank. My business partner and I have had some discussions relating to this opportunity and would be interesting in a potential joint-pilot with the outdoor model, when available. If you'd be interested in a discussion, we'd love to share our thoughts on how we can work together in growing Zen Space. If interested, please share your preferred contact information. Thank you again, Tim

Good afternoon Mayank, Love the idea and after a good amount of research, it appears your plan is very buttoned up. Like some comments below, I always believe there is tremendous upside in the residential/outdoor space. Living in Chicago, I have all the extreme weather. Given this consideration, how are you envisioning the residential pods to handle the weather fluctuations? I like the idea of a solar panel as running electricity outside is not cheap or easy. But in terms of heat or AC or even window options, take me through your thoughts on how this may/can be addressed. Thank you, Tim

Hello Tim, Thank you for investing after thorough due diligence. Appreciate a lot. As for your concern about the outdoor units, although we have a working prototype for the outdoor unit, we do not plan to launch it for some more time. Air Conditioning and Heating unit will be part of the pods (we are working with a supplier for a compact unit for our Pods). Given the traction we have with enclosed air conditioned spaces like Shopping malls and common spaces of large apartment complexes, we are not looking at launching the outdoor unit soon. The main reason for the delayed launch is that the amount of human intervention required in maintenance. We want our workspaces to be self managed in every sense possible (from discovery, reservation, cleaning and maintenance). This reduces ongoing operations capital requirement and a much improved ROI. So there is a delay in the outdoor unit launch, but rest assured we will launch it by early to mid 2021 once we figure out some operational aspects. Until then, our indoor units will soon be launched at Westfield Valley Fair mall in Santa Clara and some other locations soon. Thanks and Regards, Mayank

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

StartEngine facilitates three types of primary offerings:

1) Regulation A offerings (JOBS Act Title IV; known as Regulation A+), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC (unless otherwise indicated). 2) Regulation D offerings (Rule 506(c)), which are offered only to accredited investors. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC. 3) Regulation Crowdfunding offerings (JOBS Act Title III), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Capital, LLC. Some of these offerings are open to the general public, however there are important differences and risks.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

The availability of company information does not indicate that the company has endorsed, supports, or otherwise participates with StartEngine. It also does not constitute an endorsement, solicitation or recommendation by StartEngine. StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
