Our take
Aiming to reduce a person's time spent commuting is Desana, a platform to book a space to work wherever you are. From a hot desk to a conference room, users can book the spaces they need for however long needed, an hour to a whole day.
Flexible working is on the rise, and although productivity is found to be higher when working from home, the psychological impact of isolation can be profound. So, Desana is setting out to provide a variety of bookable workspaces to combat this.
Desana doesn't charge companies for advertising their extra space on the app, helping to attract businesses big and small. Competitors like Workspace operate exclusively within certain cities, whilst Desana connects employers and workspaces in more than 600 cities in over 120 countries.
