Coworking Europe shares news that StartDock are opening their 7th location, with an expansion into the Dutch city of Utrecht.

Huge congrats to StartDock, Thom Wernke, the other 4 cofounders, and the whole Docker community on a decade of coworking.

Liz Elam chats with Thom Wernke from StartDock about their local coworking evolution, and scaling without losing what makes your spaces magical.

StartDock launched a new episode of their "StartDock Chronicles" podcast focusing on the history of their original coworking location at Herengracht 420 in Amsterdam. The Golden Age canal house previously served as a residence for Amsterdam’s elite before becoming a bank, with the former bank vault now functioning as a meeting room within the coworking space.

There are so many coworking spaces housed in unique and historic places (including banks). Don’t forget that historical storytelling makes for great marketing for coworking operators to promote their spaces by highlighting the unique heritage and character of their buildings.

StartDock has partnered with ComplyCube to leverage AI to comply with strict regulations like The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Prevention) Act.

The partnership also provides tailored and advanced IDV, KYC, and AML compliance automation tools for the members of StartDock’s six coworking spaces.
