Our take
Making the most out of your flexible workspace isn't easy. Optix helps ease this problem by connecting users with the community, resources, and services that workplaces have to offer.
As a spin-off of the successful coworking space company ShareDesk, Optix has had an advantage over its competitors since the beginning. The company has attracted businesses like 1880, The Cloud Room, and Thrive, and has impressively increased its revenue year on year.
The increase in remote and flexible workers has paid off for Optix, and the company is well-positioned to scale dramatically over the coming years. It will need to innovate its app and attract more coworking brands if it is to consolidate its progress.
