The Pool - Entrepreneurship Club operates as a central hub within the Mexican entrepreneurial landscape, offering physical and virtual resources to foster startup growth. The company was established in 2013 by Luis X. Barrios, a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in Industrial Engineering from the Universidad Iberoamericana and an MBA from Babson College. Barrios's own experience with a failed app venture in 2010 highlighted the need for a supportive ecosystem, which directly inspired the creation of The Pool to provide entrepreneurs with essential resources and a collaborative community. He is also the founder of the investment platform Arkangeles and an active angel investor, leveraging his network and experience to benefit The Pool's members.
The firm's business model is centered on providing flexible workspace solutions tailored to the needs of freelancers, entrepreneurs, and established companies. Revenue is generated through the sale of co-working memberships, rental of private offices and meeting rooms, and fees for virtual office services, which include a fiscal address. The Pool serves a diverse clientele, from early-stage startups like Boletia and Arkangeles, which began their journeys within its spaces, to larger companies seeking an environment that stimulates creativity and agility.
The core service is access to professionally designed and equipped workspaces in key business districts of Mexico City, such as Polanco and Nápoles. These spaces are designed to promote collaboration and networking among a community of professionals. Beyond physical infrastructure, The Pool positions itself as an accelerator and a networking platform, hosting events and facilitating connections that help businesses like the automotive channel Autodinámico grow from a simple membership to a significant digital presence. This community-centric approach, combined with tangible services like flexible office solutions, provides a comprehensive support system for businesses at various stages of their development.
