Comment: Hello, unfortunately Pitchbook does not qualify as a reliable source, and I can't find others to demonstrate that Spaciously would meet our notability requirements. Subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple, published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.HELP:YFA is a helpful resource for creating your first article.Thank you, Zzz plant (talk) 19:46, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
Spaciously, Inc. is a privately-held[1] American company headquartered in San Francisco, California, founded in 2022 by Hanna Kanabiajeuskaja and Laurent Baillot, both INSEAD alumni[2]. Spaciously operates an online marketplace that connects corporate teams with local small business hosts to facilitate unique team-building experiences across the United States.
Overview
[edit]Spaciously's platform offers over 600 curated team-building activities in more than 40 U.S. cities, including San Francisco, New York City, Austin, Dallas, and Chicago. These activities range from culinary workshops and outdoor adventures to wellness sessions and creative arts. All events are hosted by vetted small business owners and artisans, ensuring personalized and high-quality experiences.
The company emphasizes transparency and ease of booking, with upfront pricing and no hidden fees. Activities are private, and hosts often provide all necessary materials and guidance. Spaciously also accommodates on-site events at client offices.
Business Model
[edit]Spaciously operates on a commission-based model, charging a 15% fee only when a booking is completed. There are no listing fees for hosts, and they have the autonomy to set their own prices and cancellation policies. This model supports small businesses by providing them with a platform to reach corporate clients without upfront costs.
Funding and Growth
[edit]As of early 2025, Spaciously has raised around $150K through pre-seed investments. The company participated in the Techstars accelerator program[3][4], which provided mentorship and additional resources to support its growth. Spacioulsy was featured in Poets and Quants 2022 Most Disruptive MBA Startups.[5]
