What Spacebase does

Spacebase is a Berlin-based global online marketplace and SaaS platform for booking meeting rooms, event venues, and flexible workspaces, founded in 2014 and operating as a private company with 11-50 employees. The company runs a two-sided platform connecting venue providers with corporate and individual bookers, offering access to over 18,000 unique spaces across 550+ destinations in 12+ countries. Its core product suite consists of a self-serve consumer booking platform and Spacebase Business, a tiered SaaS solution with Basic (49 euros/mo), Plus (149 euros/mo), and Enterprise (custom pricing) plans that add capabilities such as consolidated invoicing, budget controls, approval workflows, SSO, ERP integration, and the SpaceGuarantee protection layer against cancellations and listing inaccuracies.

Spacebase monetizes through marketplace commissions (20% standard, reduced to 8% for Pro Venue subscribers paying 890 euros/year), recurring subscriptions on both supply and demand sides (Pro Venue and Business Account tiers), and processing fees. Named enterprise customers include Deutsche Bahn, Deloitte, Roland Berger, EnBW, and Merk, while SMBs and individual bookers access the platform via self-serve booking. The company has executed two acquisitions, Workspace2go in October 2022 for Switzerland expansion and Okanda in September 2019, to broaden geographic and portfolio reach.

The underlying technology is a cloud-based booking platform with proprietary features including a Venue Scout Network that curates exclusive venues, instant booking with a stated 60-second average confirmation time, and integrations with corporate payment and expense systems (Concur, American Express vPayment, Airplus). The platform is GDPR and PSD2 compliant with servers located in Europe, and offers SSO, ERP integrations, and an API add-on for enterprise workflow automation.
