Gather RVA

What Gather RVA does

Gather Workspaces (legally Gather Workspaces LLC, marketed as Gather RVA) is a regional coworking and flexible office space operator headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Founded in 2014, the company runs eight physical locations across two Virginia metros: five in the Richmond area (Arts District, Midlothian, Scott's Addition, Short Pump, West End/Innsbrook) and three in Hampton Roads (Newport News, Norfolk, Virginia Beach). Its product portfolio spans four categories — Dedicated Space (private offices, team suites, dedicated desks), Coworking (all-access, weekday, and day pass memberships), On-Demand (meeting rooms, day offices, day passes), and Virtual Office (virtual mailbox and virtual services) — plus an enterprise tier for larger teams requiring private floors and customized layouts.

The underlying technology is the Officernd workspace management platform, which powers online membership signup, self-serve booking of meeting rooms and day offices, and access management across all locations. A single membership unlocks access to any Virginia location, supported by amenities such as 24/7 entry, video conferencing, WiFi, mail handling, and on-site community programming. The customer base is horizontally segmented across freelancers and solopreneurs, SMBs requiring team space, and enterprise clients that include Fortune 500 logos such as Accenture, Aetna, Nationwide Insurance, Lego, and TurboTax.

Gather generates revenue primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions (coworking memberships, dedicated desks, private offices, team suites, virtual mailbox) supplemented by usage-based pricing (day passes, day offices, meeting room rentals). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with acquisition driven by direct-to-consumer channels including the company website, online tour booking, search-optimized location pages, content marketing, and a structured member referral program. The company is privately held, operates with 11-50 employees, and has no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds.
