Espaço Multiplicidade Escritório Colaborativo

What Espaço Multiplicidade Escritório Colaborativo does

Espaço Multiplicidade Escritório Colaborativo is a private consulting, incubation, and innovation services firm based in Guará II, Brasília, founded in 2011 as the first coworking and café in Brasília before pivoting away from physical workspace operations in 2020. The company delivers business management consulting, BPM (Business Process Management) advisory, innovation management, corporate training, software strategy, and hackathon facilitation to a client base dominated by Brazilian federal and district government agencies (including CNMP, MPT, FAPDF, Setur-DF, FUNARTE, CAESB, and the Secretaria de Cultura do DF) alongside private-sector clients such as NTU and ACDF, and runs the Guará Criativa Incubadora supporting 22 startups as well as the Hackacity Guará smart city program aligned with the Brazilian Charter for Smart Cities.

The firm's core technology stack consists of codified consulting methodologies rather than software products: a proprietary CHICS (Cidade Humana, Inteligente, Criativa e Sustentável) smart city framework, a documented hackathon/HackaTown facilitation methodology, and the Rede Colaborativa digital platform (intranet.multiplicidadedigital.com.br) that connects entrepreneurs, partners, and enterprises in a local social network. Services are delivered by a small core team of four to five professionals supplemented by a bench of supporting consultants, with on-site delivery at partner facilities (schools, universities, government buildings) in the Federal District and remote/hybrid delivery adopted post-COVID.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services: government and enterprise consulting engagements, corporate training programs, incubation and acceleration services (including co-execution of Programa Centelha DF and Citz.Tech), and event production contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is established through direct commercial contact and public procurement processes. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed venture or institutional investment, and the only quantified contract win in the record is a BRL 180,000 parliamentary amendment funding HackacityGuará Phase 1.
