What WORQ does

WORQ is a Malaysian coworking and flexible workspace provider founded in 2017 (legal entity: Incompleteness Theorem Sdn Bhd) and headquartered in Shah Alam, Selangor. The company operates a network of 13 coworking locations across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, offering a vertically integrated portfolio that includes fully-furnished private offices, dedicated desks, hot desks, virtual offices, on-demand day passes/weekly passes, meeting rooms, and event spaces. WORQ has extended its offering into a premium wellness-oriented sub-brand, WORQ Well, launched at KL Eco City in early 2026 with a WELL Coworking Rating, making it the first Malaysian coworking operator to hold that designation.

The company generates revenue through a hybrid subscription and usage-based pricing model, with monthly recurring memberships for core office products and pay-as-you-go pricing for short-term access (Day Pass, Weekly Pass, Meeting Room, Event Space). Its customer base spans startups, SMEs, freelancers, remote workers, and enterprise/corporate teams seeking distributed workforce hubs and satellite offices. WORQ sells through a hybrid GTM motion — self-serve website booking for individuals/SMBs, inside sales for mid-market, and direct enterprise sales for corporate teams — and differentiates via a community-centric model anchored by a 20,000+ member ecosystem, partnerships with startup accelerators such as Antler, and government-backed MDEC Malaysia Digital Hub certification.

WORQ is currently profitable and reported 80% revenue growth in 2023. The company has raised approximately USD 5.7M across seed, 2018, and 2020 rounds from investors including 500 Global, Cradle Fund, Jungle Ventures, and Phillip Capital, with a 14-investor pre-Series B completed in October 2023 led by Phillip Capital and a planned future Series B of approximately USD 8.5M. Strategic real estate partnerships with KWAP, UOA Asset Management, Pelaburan Hartanah Bhd, and Mah Sing Group underpin its expansion roadmap targeting 450,000 sq ft by 2025 and 1 million sq ft by 2030.
