Coworkify

Coworkify is a coworking management software developed by Cocon Startups LLC, a software development company based in Kyoto, Japan. The concept emerged in 2011 when Coworkify's team won the grand prize at Startup Weekend, a 54-hour event backed by The Kauffman Foundation, Google, and Microsoft. Initially, it served as a directory for coworking spaces with basic booking features. Over the years, it evolved into a full-fledged coworking management software, catering to the needs of space owners worldwide.

Unlike many competitors, Coworkify focuses on simplicity, influenced by the Japanese philosophy of Zen. It prioritizes user-friendly design, reflecting the belief that space owners' valuable time should be dedicated to engaging with their community rather than grappling with complex software. The emphasis on "Omotenashi," the Japanese spirit of hospitality, is evident in their approach, mirroring the renowned hospitality of Kyoto that attracts millions of visitors annually. This spirit is incorporated from the user interface to customer support, enhancing the overall experience.

The company operates primarily in the SaaS industry, leveraging its location in Japan to infuse its products with an ethos of simplicity and hospitality. With its foundation rooted in understanding and serving the needs of coworking spaces, Coworkify is poised to continue thriving, resonating with a market that values intuitive, user-centric software.
