- Volume tinggi per customer — 1 coworking = 5-20 unit per booking
- Network effect — coworking refer ke coworking lain di komunitas mereka
Ukuran pasar 2026:
- ~600+ coworking space di Indonesia
- 75% adalah independent / boutique (target ideal)
- Average member 80-300 per location
- Equipment refresh cycle: 3-5 tahun
