CommonGrounds Workplace is a US-based Workplace-as-a-Service (WaaS) operator founded in 2016 and headquartered in Carlsbad, California. The company runs 19 fully furnished, flexible coworking workplaces across the United States and offers short-term-lease alternatives to entrepreneurs, growing teams, mid-market companies, and select enterprise tenants. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultant-driven, relying on in-person workspace tours, an online tour-scheduling funnel, and a commercial real estate broker referral channel.

The core product is a tiered subscription membership platform comprising four plans — Communal (workday access to collaboration spaces), Desk (24/7 open seating with secure storage), Communal Plus (extended-hours communal access), and Office (private, secure team workspace) — all billed monthly with all-inclusive amenities. Underlying technology differentiates the offering through Hackable Environments™ (a reconfigurable workspace licensing model), enterprise-grade infrastructure (Fortinet firewall, dual gigabit fiber), dual-pane modular offices with acoustic insulation, keyless entry, ergonomic 60" sit-stand desks, and the CG+ member mobile application. Member-facing systems integrate with Plaid for payment processing and data verification, while the member portal is operated via OfficeRnD.

CommonGrounds generates revenue through recurring monthly subscription memberships across its four tiers, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company was supported by approximately $140 million in 2019 funding from Davidson Capital Group and Pacifica Enterprises, which underwrote the build-out of its 19 US locations. The operating footprint remains US-only, with no public signals of international expansion.
