included.co and BuiltFirst have announced a partnership to help coworking spaces further reward their members.

The partnership makes it easy, and affordable, for coworking spaces of all sizes to run powerful member perks programs. The coworking-focused offering comes pre-loaded with a set of perks valued at over $250,000 from top firms like Stripe, Hubspot, Airtable, Notion, and Segment.

You may not know this, but Hector Kolonas founded included in 2013 with the big hairy audacious goal of making coworking a no-brainer by bundling in enough discounts and deals to make the membership-fees negligible. He shares thoughts on the deal here.

Tobi Skovron shares the CreativeCubes have entered into a partnership with eco-focussed car-sharing platform Outbound to get their 4000 members access to a shared fleet, including a Tesla Model Y.

I’m bullish that perks and business benefits have still got a big place in helping workspaces and networks differentiate and reward members. But I founded included.co, so obviously I’d say that. If you agree though, let me know, as there are some changes happening over on that platform that may be a good fit for an entrepreneurial person or company.

Isa De Abreu shares 3 of Nexudus’ new updates (two-factor auth, data visibility settings and support for Google Analytics 4) in a 60-second video.

Great updates and delivery. Reminds me of the #proptechupdate videos we did during the pandemic. But what do you think of this format for tech updates? Do you prefer video of text as a medium?

Jamie Hodari shares how, and why, Industrious partnered with Instacart to upgrade their in-space food options.

As someone who founded the global perks and partnership platform for hundreds of coworking spaces, I love this deal, and can’t wait to see how other operators upgrade their in-space offerings through deals and perks.

Marty Swant shares some details in Digitay around how WeWork is bringing consumer brands (and new revenue) into their spaces.

In short? Charging consumer brands for exposure, ad spots and experiential campaigns in front of their members.

The article mentions Recess (led by Jack Shannon), and this is something I loved helping workspaces around the world with during my time launching and leading included.co (check that out to run your own virtual/irl perks programs). Still believe this is a huge opportunity for engaged communities.
