Welkin & Meraki, founded in 2018 by Alain Brossé, provides premium flexible workspace solutions across Europe. Brossé, an executive with over 25 years of experience in industries like real estate and logistics, previously co-founded the coworking company TRIBES Inspiring Workplaces. His extensive background in corporate strategy informed the vision for Welkin & Meraki. The company was established with initial funding from investors including the Eaglestone Group and entrepreneur Jonas Dhaenens.
The firm operates in the competitive flexible office space market, catering to a clientele ranging from individual professionals to large corporations, including law firms and consulting companies. Its business model revolves around offering fully-outfitted premium offices, shared workspaces, and conference rooms on flexible terms, from a single hour to multiple years. Revenue is generated through these rentals, which can serve as flagship headquarters, satellite offices, or temporary project bases. The company emphasizes a high-standard of service and design, aiming to minimize distractions for its clients by managing the workspace environment, including high-speed internet connectivity and enterprise-grade security.
Welkin & Meraki's service is characterized by its focus on quality and well-being, with attention to details such as designer-picked interior elements and leather-lined desks. The spaces are designed to provide a premium, comfortable, and inspirational atmosphere. In May 2022, the American flexible workspace provider Industrious acquired Welkin & Meraki for an undisclosed amount, as part of a larger $100 million deal that also included the acquisition of Asia-based The Great Room. Following the acquisition, Welkin & Meraki continues to operate under its own brand, with its leadership and staff joining the Industrious team to support international expansion. At the time of the acquisition, the company operated in Paris, Eindhoven, and Brussels.
