Meet Sora: optimizing office space occupancy through flexible and affordable offerings

Hi folks,

Today is a good day as we’re overjoyed to welcome a new comer in da family: Sora 💜

Did you know that buildings account for 44% of energy consumption in France? This is HUGE.
Did you know that 50% of office space in Paris is actually unoccupied by its owners or tenants? This is HUGE.

Fact is, for a CEO, forecasting from one year to the next and estimating the workforce on site has become a real challenge. Sometimes plans are too ambitious, sometimes they’re simply too modest.

This is why Romain Allouch (ex Head of Real Estate Europe at WeWork) and his team are launching Sora, an operator of vacant offices! With this new solution, Romain solves the equation: flexibility + premium + turnkey + price. That’s not it, Sora is a win-win game:

👉 For guests, it’s more flexible, less expensive (up to 50% less than the coworking market), with exclusive, turnkey offers.
👉 For hosts : companies make their unoccupied spaces profitable, simply relying on the Sora team.

Our investment in Sora, by favoring the use of existing spaces rather than building new ones, aligns perfectly with our strategy to support projects that have a positive impact from a social, societal and environmental perspective, based on new models. After supporting future of work startups such as Witco (an all-in-one service for a better workplace experience), Swile (employee benefits management), or Comet (a marketplace for freelancers), Sora is the new star in our Yellow portfolio. 💛

Da yours,
The daphni Team 👾
