Our take

It can be surprising when a simple idea really is a fresh market, but Jarvo is just that. It is something akin to the AirBnB of remote workspaces, filling a niche for remote work employees who find it difficult to concentrate in shared offices and cafes. Homeowners make money renting out spare rooms for hourly rates whilst customers benefit from safe, personal space to focus.

Leading shared office companies such as WeWork risk unpredictable levels of disruption for hot desk users. Having your own personal space for anything between an hour and a full working day, no more than 15 minutes walk or cycle from your home, is an ingenious solution for the remote work boom of the 2020s. In the US alone, fully remote work is set to reach 25% of all professional jobs by 2023, exemplifying the global potential for a company like Jarvo.

That being said, Jarvo’s app is still in demo mode and will have to catch the attention of the UK market before hitting other regions. However, with its founder’s experience in scaling companies and seed funding from Seedr galvanising the company, Jarvo has a lot of promise.
