What Hemera does

Héméra is a privately held French operator of hybrid professional workspaces founded in 2016 and headquartered in Bordeaux, Gironde. The company runs a regional network of multiservice locations across Nouvelle-Aquitaine — currently 9 open sites in Bordeaux (La Halle, Ravezies, Fenwick, Jardin Public), Limoges (Jourdan, Isly), Agen (République), Belvès (Périgord), and Biarritz (Villa Fal), with a 10th site in Cognac planned for early 2026. Each location is housed in a distinctive historic building (former Banque de France, Hôtel de Commandement des Armées, 1911 Palladian villa, castrum of Belvès) and combines coworking desks (nomadic, fixed, private offices), meeting and event venues, on-site cafés, and company domiciliation services.

The core revenue mechanics are recurring subscriptions: private offices from €320/month, fixed desks from €250/month, and nomadic desks from €99/month, all-inclusive with no deposit, no guarantee, and one-month notice; domiciliation starts at €29/month HT; and event spaces, day passes (€8–€17 TTC), and café services generate per-use revenue. Pricing varies materially by location, with Bordeaux and Biarritz commanding premiums over Limoges and Belvès. The go-to-market is community-led — built around event programming (afterworks, seminars, workshops), regional French Tech chapter partnerships, and a curated partner bench of accountants, lawyers, insurers, and recruiters — supplemented by direct sales through the website and physical site visits.

Héméra is backed by regional institutional investors Crédit Mutuel Arkea and Caisse d'Épargne Aquitaine Poitou-Charentes, who participated in a €1.5M fundraising round in September 2024 alongside co-founder and President Julien Parrou-Duboscq. The company positions itself less as a tech-enabled real-estate business and more as a regional entrepreneurial ecosystem operator, with each site functioning simultaneously as a workspace, event venue, community hub, and business address provider for freelancers, SMEs, and increasingly sector-specific verticals such as fashion/design (Biarritz) and rural third-place users (Belvès, Cognac).
