Work next tothe right people

there gives you a few days a week somewhere good to work: a coworking, a studio, a farm outside the city. Jamal, our assistant on WhatsApp and Telegram, plans your week and tells you who'll be there.

  • No desk hunting.
  • No cold networking.
  • No days talking to no one.

Your first day is free

Leave your name and number. Jamal texts you on WhatsApp to pick a day and a place.

A Portuguese number as it is. Any other with its country code, like +49.

No account, no card. If it isn't for you, say so and we'll stop.

How it works

Three steps, and one of them is showing up

  1. Tell Jamal what you're working on

    In your own words: what you're building, how you like to work, who you'd like to meet. Five minutes, once.

  2. Get your week

    Every Saturday he sends where you'll work and who'll be there, chosen so you sit with people worth meeting. Accept it, swap a day, or skip one.

  3. Show up

    Your host opens the day with a short round: everyone says what they're doing today. Then heads down, and lunch at one table if you want it.

Woke up wanting something else? Text Jamal "somewhere quiet" or "by the sea" and he'll find you a seat today.

An example week, as Jamal sends it

Where

Rooms you wouldn't find on your own

Real coworkings on their quieter days, and places people open up for a morning: a farm, a studio, a long table by a river.

Hugo and Serge are real hosts. The glasshouse and the coworking show the kind of place we open with. The pictures are illustrations.

Have a place like these?

Open it as a coworking day. You choose the days and the seats. We send members who want your kind of place, show you how to run the day, and pay you for every member who checks in.

Who

Who's there matters more than the desk

Most coworkings rent you a desk and leave the rest to luck. We choose the room: six to ten people a day, picked for what they're working on and how they like to work.

  • You see who's coming before you go: first names, and what they're working on.
  • Jamal introduces you to someone only when you both say yes. He never shares your number.
  • A person on our team reads every week's plan before it goes out.
  • What you tell us about life outside work only helps choose your group. Nobody else sees it.

What it costs

Pay for days, not a desk

Pick how often you want to come. Any space, any week.

VAT included. Days reset each month, so pick the plan you'll use. Change, pause or cancel any time. Your first day is free, with no card. A day pass in Lisbon is usually €20–30.

Questions

What people ask first

Will anyone actually talk to me?

Yes, and not by luck. Every day starts with a short round where everyone says what they're working on. You know who's coming before you arrive, and Jamal can introduce you to anyone you'd like to meet, if they say yes too.

What if I don't use all my days?

They reset at the end of each month and don't carry over. That's why we'd rather you pick the plan you'll actually use, and change it when your weeks change. You can pause or cancel any time.

Is an AI choosing who I sit with?

Jamal is our assistant: he does the planning and the messages. The matching follows what you tell us, and a person on our team reviews every week before it goes out. Ask us to forget anything and we will.

What if the group is wrong, or I don't feel safe?

You see who's coming before you go, and you can swap or skip any day. Hosts are checked before they open. You can report anything at any time, and we read every report.

Where are the spaces?

Lisbon first, plus places along the Cascais line and in Setúbal. Some are coworkings on their quieter days; others are studios, gardens and a farm that people open up.

What's included in a day?

A seat from the morning round to the end of the day, wifi and power, and whatever the host offers around the work, like lunch at one table. Each space's page says what's there.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from your account; your plan runs to the end of the month. In your first 14 days you can also withdraw and get back what you haven't used.

For hosts

Have a space that's quiet on weekdays?

A coworking with empty desks midweek, a studio, a café that's calm until noon, a farm outside the city. We show you how to run a good coworking day, send you the people, and pay you for every member who comes.
