Impact Hub Madrid

What Impact Hub Madrid does

Impact Hub Madrid is a Madrid-based social innovation center that operates a network of coworking spaces, an impact consulting practice, and sustainable event venues. Founded in 2010 as the first Impact Hub in Spain, the company runs five to six locations across central Madrid — Alameda (Barrio de las Letras), Barceló (Tribunal), Prosperidad (Ciudad Jardín), Piamonte, and Picasso — totaling approximately 12,000 m² of workspace, plus the flagship Gobernador event venue (330+ m², up to 100 guests). It serves entrepreneurs, freelancers, SMEs, corporations, and third-sector organizations through subscription memberships (private offices, fixed desks, flexible desks, virtual offices, and day passes), per-seat meeting room rentals, and one-time event venue hires. The consulting arm, branded Somos Impacto, provides organizational transformation, impact ecosystem development, and corporate innovation services.

The technology layer is standard for the coworking sector: the Nexudus platform handles member login and space management, the website runs on WordPress, and marketing relies on HubSpot, Google Analytics, and Google Ads. The Hub Connect community platform connects members within the global Impact Hub network of more than 100 cities and 17,000+ professionals, with members entitled to work three days per year at any Impact Hub worldwide. The business model is multi-stream: recurring coworking subscriptions, one-time event venue rentals, and professional services fees from Somos Impacto. The company holds Spain's first B Corp certification for a coworking operator (2018) and four consecutive years of Cero CO2 certification, with all energy sourced from renewables.

Impact Hub Madrid is a private limited company (IMPACT HUB S.L.U.) owned by Agartha Real Estate, an alternative investment and real estate asset management firm that also controls Impact Hub Barcelona, Málaga, and Lisbon, creating a consolidated Iberian platform of 14 spaces and roughly 2,500 community members. Direct go-to-market is community-led and direct-to-consumer: website inquiries, phone sales, on-site walk-ins, and host-team referrals, supplemented by event-driven acquisition through venue rentals and corporate field sales for enterprise deployments. Marketing spans organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram), segmented newsletters (corporate, events, consulting), content marketing, Google Ads, and on-site events.
