What Digs does

Digs is a coworking, meeting, and event hub located at Krambugata 2 in Trondheim, Norway. It is one of four operating locations of Mesh Community, alongside Mesh Nationaltheatret and Mesh Youngstorget in Oslo and Matrikel1 in Copenhagen. The legal entity is Digs AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mesh Community AS (parent company co-founded by Anders Mjåset and Karl Kristian Wickstrøm). Digs serves startups, freelancers, and growth-stage companies with flexible desks, meeting rooms (Main Stage, 501–Utsikt, 507–Driv), an on-site café/bar (Workbar), and curated programming including hundreds of community events annually. The Mesh Community network claims more than 5,000 members and over 100,000 annual users across the Nordic region.

The business model is community-led and primarily subscription-based. Revenue streams include recurring membership fees for coworking access, hourly/daily rental of meeting and event spaces, paid workshops and bootcamps (e.g., the Vibecoding Bootcamp priced at 1,900 NOK general / 900 NOK for Digs members and DNB customers), and transaction-based food and beverage sales from the Workbar. Membership pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires direct inquiry. Distribution is via walk-in sales at the Trondheim location and online booking through meshcommunity.com; members can also access other Mesh hubs in Oslo and Copenhagen, creating cross-location network value.

Digs' go-to-market relies on event-driven community activation and institutional partnerships rather than outbound sales. Strategic partners include DNB (financial sponsor and discount partner), StartupTRD and SkatteFUNNguide.no (startup support programming), Space Port Norway (Ground Control space-tech meetup series), Trondheim Tech Port (Innovasjonsfrokost), Work in Trondheim (International Meetup), and TechSavvy/TechBBQ (Afterwork series). The company is GDPR-compliant, has no proprietary software or AI product, and operates with a small team (1–10 employees). The offering is fundamentally a physical workspace and community service, not a technology platform.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Mindspace: European flexible-workspace operator focused on design-led offices and member experience across multiple cities. Comparable on multi-location community-driven workspace delivery and on event-hoster business model.
• Industrious: Premium flexible-workspace operator offering private offices and suites with hospitality-grade service. Comparable as a workspace-as-a-service peer serving growth-stage and enterprise clients that also rent event space.
• Spaces: IWG's design-led coworking brand targeting entrepreneurs and growth companies. Overlaps with Digs' startup and growth-stage customer segments and meeting/event space rental use cases.
• IWG (Regus, Spaces, HQ): Largest global flexible-workspace operator with a portfolio of brands targeting SMBs and enterprises. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing in the same flexible-workspace category as Digs, but without the community-curation layer.
• WeWork: Global coworking incumbent providing shared and private offices with a community/brand-led go-to-market. Overlaps with Digs on community positioning but operates at vastly larger scale and capital base.

Regional players

• Coeo: Nordic flexible-workspace operator with presence in Norway and the Nordics. Directly comparable as a regional competitor offering coworking and meeting space to similar SMB and startup segments in overlapping geographies.

Direct peers

• Impact Hub: Global network of community-driven coworking hubs that combine workspace, programming, and a mission-oriented member base. Closely mirrors Digs' positioning as a community-first startup hub rather than a pure real-estate play.
• Mesh Community (Oslo & Copenhagen locations): Sibling Mesh Community locations (Nationaltheatret, Youngstorget in Oslo; Matrikel1 in Copenhagen) operate the same coworking-plus-events-plus-Workbar model under the same parent. They are the most directly comparable operating analog to Digs.
