Hey Hunters!! I’m Nisha, co-maker of Croissant. Our app gets you access to a curated selection of inspiring workspaces. We are now LIVE in San Francisco and New York City *yay* PH Exclusive We are giving away a free 10-hour trial to anyone who signs up today! Your trial starts when you first use the app, so grab it even if you can't use it this week :) The story & vision Our vision is to make every day inspiring. The first step we are taking is to give you the tool to unlock amazing workspaces wherever and whenever you need to. People often ask us why we named our company Croissant. It goes back to the story of why we made this company, and why we are so excited about it. My cofounders and I were working on a completely different startup idea at the time. We would meet in NYC coffee shops to collaborate and get out of the house and get our creative juices flowing. However, we were often met with spotty wifi, lack of seats and plugs.. and even if we were able to grab a spot, we had to keep buying coffee and croissants to not feel guilty about staying there all day. So when we went to a hackathon last year, we looked to our current pain points and decided that finding an affordable and inspiring workspace was damn near impossible in Manhattan. Our MVP was an app to book seats at a coffee shop, but quickly pivoted to coworking spaces when we realized that the amenities and community were already in place there. Basically, we brought the coffee shop experience to the coworking space! We partnered with three of our favorite coworking spaces and launched in New York City last year. Our members have told us that we’ve completely changed the way they do work. It’s been what they call a “wild ride”, and we are SO excited to bring Croissant to the Bay Area!

@nishsticks hey! I am the founder of a coworking space in Tel Aviv called The Pub Hub! Let me know how we can help launch this is Israel. I have all the info you would need.
Cem Carak
@nishsticks I definitely like the name but I am just curious. Why Croissant? haha
Nisha Garigarn
@danielrubin109 Awesome! How can we get in touch? :)
Nisha Garigarn
@cemedericarak We used to buy croissants a lot when we worked from coffee shops because we felt bad for staying there all day. The idea is that instead of buying the pastry croissant, you can now use our membership Croissant as the pass that gets you a nice workspace!

@nishsticks Woo hoo! Congrats on this launch, Nisha! Thanks for sharing in Tech Ladies. I'm excited to try it out in NYC :)

So excited for the new and improved Croissant with an updated design and new cities and spaces, including... SAN FRANCISCO! Now you can float between all the hip coworking spaces from NYC to SF with a Croissant membership.

@writerpollock Thank you sir! We're honored to have been hunted by the master from Minnesota!
Trent Bigelow
This is really cool! What spaces do you have in San Francisco?
Zoltan Szalas
@trentbigelow Hi Trent! We currently have 11 spaces in San Francisco and 3 others in the Bay Area. We curate spaces with a cool and unique vibe. For example, Bespoke is the hottest space for retail meets technology and they have a rock climbing wall in the middle of the space. Parisoma has a strong emphasis on openness and collaboration and is perfect for designers and developers. These are just a few, but if you'd like to see the full list just visit https://www.getcroissant.com/dis....

I'm one of the many folks who uses Croissant and absolutely loves it. It has opened up so much flexibility in my day-to-day routine, and helps me get the best of office life and my nomadic/itinerant tendencies. Plus, any time there are issues (rarely!) the team is so quick to jump to the rescue and make it right. It's not just a cool concept but it's backed by a great group of people.
Dave Idell
@chrisvanpatten Thank you Chris. So great to hear it from a member! We're happy to make you happy.

Is this just US based right now? Whats the app store link - can't see it on the website?
Nisha Garigarn
@bentossell Hi Ben, yes just US based right now. Members usually get the app after they sign up, but it's publicly available here for iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/ap...)

@joaquin_v_roca Agreed! I think it's good for anyone who wants to physically be near people, but still focused on their work ;)
Dmitry Dragilev
Been using these guys since the time they launched in NYC, nothing but awesome things to say, I love hopping around all the coworking spaces in NYC. Usually if I have a meeting I'll just quickly book a space nearby. SF launch is killer, every city needs one of these!
Zoltan Szalas
@dragilev Thanks Dmitry! Bear hugs all around

Okay, I do not hate this at all. Couldn't find a couple spaces, like http://www.aptiviti.com/coworking/ on there, but I'm sure your local saturation will get there soon! @getcroissant @writerpollock
Dave Idell
@elizabethhunker @getcroissant @writerpollock thanks for the recommendation! Do you know their address or a person of contact there?
Elizabeth
@daveometer @getcroissant @writerpollock Yeah! it's at 129 West 29th St, New York, NY 10001 - same building as OK Cupid & Andella. I believe you can reach the Director of Ops directly at info@aptiviti.com
