“It's essentially a marketplace for workspaces. What a person does is a lot of people moved hybrid or post COVID and they're working from home. They get tired working from home. They need to work out of a co working space close by. They just download the myhq app. They can see all the spaces close by, book any of the spaces on a per day basis or per hour basis or book meeting rooms altogether.”
