Please give some more details of your startup story.

Tell us more about your plans for 2025 and what is your long-term vision.

Our vision for the future is to expand across Switzerland, providing even more accessible and flexible space solutions. We are committed to continuously improving our services to meet the evolving needs of our customers, whether they are facing space challenges or starting a new business.

What has been the biggest success that you have achieved in your startup?

One of our greatest successes is seeing more and more companies value what we offer. While we started with a focus on private users, it’s rewarding to see our spaces now widely used by businesses too – for offices, studios, or workshops. A shift we’re proud to support and grow with.

If you could do it all over again, what would you do differently? What are your biggest learnings?

One key learning was to stay flexible. Initially, we focused mainly on storage, but over time we realized the importance of listening closely to customer needs. Looking back, we would have invested earlier in diverse space concepts like studios and offices, and stay open to change. That mindset drives us today.

What motivates you to continue your business every day?

It’s truly motivating to see how just a bit more space can empower people. The variety of users and purposes is incredible – from creative projects to growing businesses. Watching how our spaces support so many unique journeys is what inspires us every day.

One piece of advice for someone who is just starting out with their startup?

Stay flexible and listen closely to your customers. Your first idea might not be your final path – and that’s okay. Be open to change, learn fast, and grow with your users. It’s not about getting it perfect right away, but about moving forward with purpose and curiosity.

What does it mean to you to be a member of the Swiss Startup Association? 

Being part of the Swiss Startup Association means standing for courage, simplicity, and community. We want to show that starting a business doesn’t need to be complicated. Supporting and encouraging young companies to take that first step is both our mission and motivation.

Would you recommend joining the Swiss Startup Association? Why?

As new members of the Swiss Startup Association, it’s still early to give a full recommendation. However, our first impressions have been very positive. We appreciate the network and the potential to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs across Switzerland.

Is there anything that we haven’t asked you that you would like to share with us/the community?

Looking for affordable and flexible space? We’re here to support startups with exactly that. Whether you need room to build, create, or grow – we offer spaces that adapt to your journey. Let’s make space for new ideas, together.
