What KR SPACE PRIVATE LIMITED does

KR Space (氪空间) is a Chinese co-working and flexible office space operator that spun off from the 36Kr media ecosystem in early 2016 and is incorporated as Beijing Zhenkru Information Technology Co., Ltd. (北京箴氪信息技术有限公司). Founded in 2014 in Beijing's Zhongguancun startup district, the company operates 37+ co-working communities across 9 Chinese cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Tianjin, Hefei, Hangzhou, and Yancheng), providing 50,000+ desks to 5,000+ enterprise customers and a community of 100,000+ members.

The company's core product set comprises private offices (priced from approximately ¥2,210/seat/month), meeting rooms (from ¥36/half-hour), and hot desks (¥83-116/day), bundled with community amenities including shared lounges, phone booths, reading areas, roadshow halls, and water bars. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based workspace rentals, supplemented by enterprise office consulting, asset management services, and a tiered referral program that pays up to 10% commission. Underpinning the platform is a proprietary smart space control system and smart access control system that provide IoT-enabled management across the national network.

The company has raised over RMB 1.8 billion in cumulative venture funding across Series A (~2016), Series A+ (2016), strategic rounds (2017), a Pre-B round of RMB 600 million (2018), and a RMB 1 billion Series B led by IDG Capital in May 2019. Beyond physical space, KR Space operates a vertically integrated incubation and investment-matching service that has reportedly incubated 260+ projects with cumulative financing exceeding RMB 50 billion. In May 2019, the company formally repositioned from a pure co-working brand to a "full-cycle enterprise office service provider" combining co-working, enterprise consulting, and asset management.

Others

• 36Kr: China's leading tech media and startup-services platform from which Kr Space originated and continues to derive tenant pipeline and brand. Not a competitor, but the most strategically important ecosystem partner and a direct read on the Chinese tech-startup cycle that drives Kr Space's demand.

Direct peers

• SOHO 3Q: Chinese serviced/co-working office product from SOHO China, sharing Kr Space's metropolitan customer base, app-based booking flow, and short-term rental offering. Direct substitute for SMB and team office demand in major Chinese cities.
• UCommune (优客工场): China's largest publicly tracked coworking operator, spun out around the same time as Kr Space and competing head-to-head for tier-1 city locations, startup tenants, and large-enterprise flex-office deals. Most directly comparable on community count, customer segments, and pricing model.
• Distrii (办伴): Tech-enabled smart office operator in China with similar IoT/space-management features and similar coworking-plus-traditional-office hybrid offering. Closest peer on the 'smart office technology' axis that Kr Space's proprietary platform competes on.
• WeWork China: China arm of WeWork providing flexible office space and coworking in major cities (Shanghai, Beijing, etc.), targeting similar startup and SMB customers with a similar membership-based pricing model. Restructured post-2020 and remains a benchmark competitor for Kr Space in tier-1 locations.
• Dream Plus (梦想加): Chinese tech-driven flex-office operator focused on smart buildings and member experience, with overlapping target customers (startups, tech SMBs, enterprise teams) and similar product breadth (private offices, meeting rooms, IoT-enabled amenities).

Regional players

• naked Hub: Asia-focused coworking operator (Hong Kong, Shanghai, etc.) that merged with WeWork China; comparable on premium design positioning and shared-desk / dedicated-desk products in tier-1 Asian cities.
• JustCo: Asia-Pacific coworking operator with locations across Singapore, China, and Southeast Asia, targeting similar startup and enterprise-flex customers. Comparable on pan-regional ambitions and tech-enabled member experience.

Broad incumbents

• IWG / Regus: Global leader in serviced and flexible office space (HQ, Regus, Spaces brands), with growing China presence. Competes for large-enterprise flex-office contracts but at a much broader, lower-specialization level than Kr Space.

Emerging players

• Bee+ (蜜蜂科技): China-based premium coworking and new-office-space operator with strong design-led positioning; partial overlap with Kr Space on high-end tier-1 city locations and enterprise/SMB customers.
