The travel industry regularly honors the most interesting start-ups. Four young Swiss companies presented themselves at the fourth Travel Start-up Night organized by the Association of Internet Travel Sales (VIR) and the Travel Industry Club. According to a VIR announcement, open2work was able to convince the analog and digital participants. The Zurich start-up will be able to present itself to representatives of the travel industry in German-speaking countries in Frankfurt in December.
The open2work platform enables companies with surplus office space to offer these interested parties for hourly or daily use. According to co-founder and CEO Lionel Ebener, the company, which was founded in 2020, already has 27 locations in Switzerland. There is also interest on the demand side. The platform recorded 30 bookings in the first week of September. "Our customers can now see that we are something special."
The start-up is now looking for funding in the mid six-figure range. “We want to build a professional infrastructure and now make all steps scalable,” says Ebener. open2work wants to become the Airbnb for offices.
