Switchyards

What Switchyards does

Switchyards operates a subscription-based network of neighborhood coworking clubs positioned as the world's first 'neighborhood work club.' Founded in 2016 in Atlanta, the company deploys ~38 small-footprint work clubs (typically 2,000–6,000 sq ft conversions of unconventional spaces such as former churches, laundries, foundries, and tire shops) in residential submarkets across 14 U.S. cities, with stated goals of 200 clubs by 2029 and 250 by 2030. Membership is sold directly via switchyards.com at $129/month or $100/month on an annual plan ($1,200/yr), capped at roughly 250 members per location, and grants 24/7 access to every club in the network along with free locally-roasted coffee, organic tea, high-speed internet, and bookable phone booths and meeting rooms.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: a mobile app provides keyless 24/7 access, Skedda powers room and booth reservations with automated reminders and no-show cancellation, and Stripe (alongside MoonClerk) handles recurring billing. No proprietary technology or AI/ML components are disclosed. Go-to-market is product-led and self-serve, relying on word-of-mouth, social media, and the sold-out-launch phenomenon for organic demand creation in new markets. The target customer is the remote and hybrid worker seeking a productive third place walkable from home, an alternative to both the home office and downtown coworking.

Revenue is generated exclusively through consumer/SMB membership subscriptions with no enterprise contracts disclosed. The company has raised over $13M cumulatively across SEC-exempt offerings (notably a $5M round from Bullpen in 2024) and operates as Switchyards Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered at 151 Ted Turner Dr. NW in Atlanta. Team Memberships and a dedicated real-estate sourcing channel represent early commercial extensions beyond the direct-to-consumer core.

Direct peers

• WeWork: WeWork is the original subscription-based coworking operator offering flexible office space with amenities. While it focuses on downtown locations and dedicated desks (vs. Switchyards' neighborhood, no-desk model), it is the most direct comparison point for subscription coworking unit economics and the cautionary tale for the category.
• Industrious: Industrious operates premium, hospitality-focused flexible workspaces with subscription and team memberships. It shares Switchyards' premium positioning and amenity-rich approach (coffee, meeting rooms) but is concentrated in Class A office buildings rather than residential neighborhoods.
• Convene: Convene provides premium flexible workspaces with a hospitality-first design ethos, combining coworking, meeting rooms, and event spaces. Like Switchyards, it differentiates on design and experience rather than just desk rental, but targets enterprise and downtown markets.
• NeueHouse: NeueHouse operates creative membership clubs offering workspaces, event programming, and curated community for creative professionals. It is the closest analog to Switchyards' "neighborhood work club" framing and shared emphasis on membership experience over traditional coworking, though NeueHouse focuses on flagship urban locations.
• The Wing: The Wing was a members-only club for women offering workspace, meeting rooms, and community programming in beautifully designed spaces. It pioneered the "membership club for professionals" concept that Switchyards now applies to remote workers in neighborhoods; The Wing ceased operations in 2023 but is a critical precedent.

Broad incumbents

• Spaces (by IWG): Spaces is IWG's premium flexible workspace brand, part of the largest global coworking portfolio (including Regus). It is comparable to Switchyards on subscription coworking and design-led amenities, but operates at much larger scale and primarily in CBD office towers.

Emerging players

• Workfrom: Workfrom is a platform that helps remote workers find and book coworking and cafe workspaces by the hour or day. While not a direct operator, it represents an alternative model for accessing flexible workspace and could be a potential complement or competitor to Switchyards' neighborhood model.
• Croissant: Croissant is a workspace marketplace that gives members access to a network of coworking spaces and studios on a single membership. Comparable to Switchyards on the multi-location, app-based access value proposition, but it aggregates third-party spaces rather than operating its own.
• Workplaceless: Workplaceless is a remote work platform offering coworking reimbursements and distributed work infrastructure for remote teams. It targets the same remote worker base as Switchyards through an employer-paid model rather than consumer subscription.
• Liquidspace: Liquidspace is a marketplace for booking meeting rooms and day passes at flexible workspaces. It complements traditional coworking memberships and represents an alternative distribution model that Switchyards could leverage for non-member bookings.
