We're Creating The Airbnb For Corporate Workspaces

Fluidmeet was originally conceptualized as an on-demand and real-time marketplace for meeting spaces. Suli and I started this concept from a point of need. We were strategy consultants and we needed to book a meeting room to train our junior consultants. But the process to book it was long and cumbersome. We had to contact a bunch of hotels, share the same meeting requirements, receive proposals usually after 48 hours, view and share pictures on WhatsApp or email, negotiate, and then pay either at the venue. We thought there must be an easier way to do all of this. So we created fluidmeet and hit all these points. But we realized that it didn’t stop at smaller meeting rooms. Larger event spaces and banquet halls had a similar experience.

Since hotels were slower to adopt the technology in the beginning, we pivoted towards business centers which were growing tremendously at that stage. But they had serviced offices and coworking spaces, so we had to modify the booking and inquiry process to accommodate for that new growth market. Since meetings rooms and event spaces were similar to the office and coworking spaces, it was a matter of adapting our technology to different space types. So we continued to extend the reach of technological application into these new categories.
