6 – How awesome would it be to build a WeWork, but bottom-up – with Christoph Fahle and One Coworking

A very special coworking

28-12-2022 • 29 mins

During this interview, we talk about:


• Christoph, his former space, betahaus, and new project, One Coworking

• how someone thinks about starting in 2009 what will be later called ‘a coworking space’

• the yearning for freedom and community that brings spaces together



0:00 – Hello

1:07 – betahaus started in 2009, it wasn’t even called coworking

04:20 – We were spoiled a lot and only needed the money from the grand-mother to start

6:26 – We went through bankruptcy a year ago because of COVID

8:09 – It’s now a European story

10:30 – A network of coworking spaces, as a side project

13:45 – The future of work looks a lot like coworking

16:18 – This is kind of a secret, we want to work more with the spaces

17:35 – We’ll have a big announcement beginning of next year

18:30 – And it’s again different from all those virtual spaces popping up

19:33 – This is our journey towards an ecosystem for coworking

22:21 – Building betahaus was beautiful, but also exhausting

24:37 – A coworking space for pensioners?

26:30 – Coworking is a trend much bigger than the COVID crisis

28:20 – Thank you and goodbye
