Vrumi

What Vrumi does

Vrumi was a London-based marketplace platform founded in 2014 that targeted microbusinesses, startups, and independent operators by offering them an alternative to inflexible conventional office leases. Per its firmographic description, the company positioned itself around flexible, short-term workspace and space-rental solutions, with documented customer segments spanning startups, travel/hospitality (vacation rentals, hotel booking, property management), and space-rental platform use cases such as event space, co-working, and pop-up retail. Co-founders William Sieghart and Roddy Campbell led the company, and a seed round was listed on Seedrs in June 2015 with Seedrs and Venrex as named investors, although $0 was recorded as raised.

As of the most recent input signals, Vrumi.com — the company's brand domain — is being actively resold on Atom.com's premium domain marketplace at a $4,500 buy-now price or a $330/month lease-to-own structure with a $900 down payment. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, and no operating revenue, recent product launches, or follow-on funding are documented. The combined signal set indicates the original operating business is either dormant or in wind-down, with the principal remaining asset — the domain name itself — being monetized via third-party marketplace sale rather than through active product operations.

Core offering

Vrumi operated an online peer-to-peer marketplace that connected microbusinesses, startups, and independent outfits with hosts offering flexible, short-term office and workspace rentals, freeing these users from the burden of inflexible and costly conventional office rents. The company is no longer operating, and the vrumi.com domain is now listed for sale on the Atom.com premium domain marketplace.

Product overview

Vrumi.com is a single premium domain name being sold through Atom.com's marketplace. It is not a product suite or platform—it is one domain listing available for purchase at $4,500 one-time or via lease-to-own at $330/month for 12 months with $900 down payment. The domain is described as ideal for startups in automotive, technology, or innovative sectors.

Direct peers

• OfficeSpace: Marketplace for office and retail space listings, comparable to Vrumi's stated "space rental marketplace" positioning for short-term and on-demand bookings.
• Workfrom: Online marketplace connecting remote workers and small teams with day-pass workspace, addressing the same flexible-office-for-small-business use case as Vrumi.
• Liquidspace: Marketplace platform for booking meeting rooms, day offices and shared workspaces on-demand, directly comparable to Vrumi's described "space rental marketplace" model.
• Hubble (Hubble HQ): UK-based marketplace for flexible office space, originally focused on startups and SMBs needing short-term lease terms — the closest in geography, target customer and use case to Vrumi's stated mission.

Emerging players

• Breather: On-demand bookable workspace and meeting-room platform targeting small teams and individuals — overlapping with Vrumi's horizontal use-case mix.
• Deskpass: Workspace-as-a-service platform offering pay-per-use access to a global network of coworking spaces, broadly overlapping with Vrumi's marketplace vision.

Broad incumbents

• WeWork: Largest global coworking/flexible-office operator serving startups through enterprise; competes for the same microbusiness/startup tenant that Vrumi targeted.
• Industrious: Premium flexible-workspace provider serving enterprise and SMB tenants, overlaps with Vrumi's microbusiness/coworking offering.
• IWG (Regus): Parent of Regus and Spaces, the largest traditional flexible-office network — sets the competitive price floor against any startup-focused marketplace like Vrumi.
• Knotel: On-demand office-space provider (now under Newmark), a similar flexible-office model to Vrumi but aimed further upmarket.
