It's a hybrid: licensed brand and operating playbook, with revenue share and equity participation depending on the deal. We tailor structure to each market.
12–20 weeks from signed term sheet, assuming the space is delivered in shell condition. We've compressed our build-out playbook to remove typical coworking delays.
No. We've trained operators from hospitality, fitness, and traditional real estate. What matters is hospitality instinct and a real local network.
We're actively reviewing the Midwest, Mountain West, and Southeast. Coastal Tier-1 cities are not a fit for the current playbook.
Yes. Many of our operators raise locally and we co-invest alongside. We can also introduce capital from the OBO investor network.
A brand and platform fee, plus an equity participation in the operating entity. Specifics shared in discovery — structure is straightforward and operator-friendly.
