What Werklab Inc. does

Werklab Inc. is a privately held Canadian corporation operating a single holistic coworking space in East Vancouver, British Columbia, at 290-1275 Venables Street. Founded in 2016 by Baharak Beikoghli, the company integrates wellness programming — including yoga, Pilates, breathwork, guided meditation, and curated community events — with traditional flexible workspace offerings. The target customer base spans freelancers and independent professionals, small businesses and startups, creatives, remote/distributed teams, and event and production clients in the Vancouver market.

The core product portfolio consists of flexible coworking memberships (Hot Desk, Dedicated Desk, Team Hot Desking, Day Pass, and Virtual Office at $75/month) and private offices for teams of 2-12 people at $1,250-$7,000/month on 12-month agreements. Adjacent revenue streams include hourly boardroom and meeting-room rentals ($45-$65/hour), event and workshop space in the Zen Den, photography and video production studio rentals ($125-$350/hour), and corporate offsite packages with custom pricing. The company's technology stack is deliberately non-proprietary: the Squarespace-hosted website (werklab.com) handles marketing and membership information, while the third-party Nexudus platform manages self-serve booking, tours, day passes, and membership administration.

The business model combines subscription-recurring revenue from monthly memberships (billed in advance, 30-day cancellation) with transactional one-time revenue from space and event rentals. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer and community-led: organic website traffic, an active events calendar open to members and external participants, social media, a newsletter, and word-of-mouth referrals. No patents, proprietary technology, AI capabilities, funding rounds, partnerships, or M&A activity are disclosed. The company operates with a lean 1-10 person internal team in a single geography.
