Why RocketSpace?

We carefully curate the best - almost exclusively admitting Seed to Series-C funded technology focused businesses with MVPs. Everyone here is here to build and scale, and you will be surrounded by a likeminded community of driven entrepreneurs each and every day

You are:

A Seed to Series-C funded tech startup with a minimum viable product that is selling and/or has users
Looking for a serious coworking space to build a scalable tech startup

Our serious startups attract some serious mentors, VCs, and advisors - making it easy to network and bounce ideas off of people who know your space.

There’s a reason that RocketSpace has been the launch pad for companies like Spotify, Uber, Hootsuite, and is the choice of leading edge accelerators like Alchemist. We provide the space, services, and amenities for high-growth startups to take their technologies to new heights, and the community to spark ideas and innovations that you can’t find at any other coworking space in San Francisco.

Come for a visit and experience a day in the life of a tech startup working at RocketSpace.

Coworking vs. Traditional Working:
What’s the Difference?

While plenty of innovative entrepreneurs and businesses have enjoyed the flexibility and networking opportunities of coworking for years, others are just starting to explore the idea. If you’re just getting started with your business, and working from a small office or home, you’re familiar with both the benefits and the daily struggles. Here’s what you can expect from a coworking environment vs. a home office or small office:

Home Office Pro: PJs all day - everyday.

Home Office Con: Daily/hourly distractions like the dog trying to play by squeaking her favorite toy at you during an important call, feeling isolated and uninspired, or simply feeling too busy to leave the house to network.

Coworking Space Solutions: A coworking space is your home away from home, offering comfortable office and desk options with the flexibility to come and go as you please. With a focus on work, and driven startups all around, productivity increases. If you feel like a change of scenery from the traditional desk space, many coworking facilities have comfy common areas, or patio space, where you can change it up and reenergize.

Working from a coworking space, enables you to form key connections and provides networking opportunities (without having to spend time traveling to a meetup or event). You’ll sit next to other tech startups, get to join in the community events and courses, and learn from visiting industry influencers and mentors. Plus, you’ll have the unique opportunity to constantly test ideas, pitch your startup, and get feedback from the community and mentors around you.

Small Office Pro: That “we’re official” feeling.

Small Office Con: Even small offices have their distractions and downfalls - the admin, office supply runs, kitchen stocking, and bathroom cleaning take almost a whole day’s worth of time...not to mention, who wants to clean the communal bathroom?

Taking time away from focusing on your startup, especially in the early days, hinders opportunity and growth. Without time to network, or meet other entrepreneurs, you miss out on the potential to solve problems with people who understand what you’re going through and know your industry. Without a solid network, or advisors, finding funding is tough.

Coworking Space Solutions: You don’t have to worry about traditional office problems that take time away from actually doing business. Many coworking spaces offer office space for teams - so you can keep that “we’re official” feeling and all work closely together. Getting up and running is efficient and speedy, so you don’t have to spend time talking to realtors, signing leases, or waiting for someone else to move out.

At RocketSpace, you get all the benefits of having an office, without actually having to deal with the office tasks that aren’t productive.

Here are a few of those benefits:

4Gbps WiFi
Free Printing and Scanning on each floor
Helpful Staff onsite 8:30am-5:30pm Monday - Friday
Mail distribution and packages held
Use of kitchen and free Philz Coffee, Tea, Soda, Sparkling Water, and Fresh Fruit

“For us, it was really important to have a flexible, hassle-free, professional place to work from.

Kevin Mannion VP Marketing, Datahug

"We chose RocketSpace because of its track record of accelerating successful companies including alumni Uber, Spotify and Weebly. What we've appreciated most are the introductions to corporate executives from large players in our space. In the past few months, I've met leadership from PWC, IBM, and State Farm who have become useful resources thanks to RocketSpace."
