🐉 KNOTEL’S STORY: ADAPTING TO GIANT NEEDS
Edward Shenderovich, cofounder & chairman at Knotel
I’m guessing you’ve heard about WeWork, the company at the center of the tech world’s attention last year. Now, it’s time for you to discover Knotel, a platform on top of real estate providing flexible workspace for large companies on 4 continents.
The value proposition is centered on flexible, customizable and scalable workspaces for big clients. In short, it’s the other side of the market WeWork is targeting. Knotel’s users look for spaces for an average of 100 people, not 5 or 10 like other coworking spaces. And this other side can also be super profitable: They raised a $400M Series C last summer and have more than 450 employees right now, ready to scale their model.
Edward is the chairman of the company & a serial entrepreneur. He’s also served as an investor at Kite Ventures, with board seats at great scale-ups such as Delivery Hero and Tradeshift.

🥊 YOUNG TIGERS #3
Cecilia Lundborg from Daphni
Augustin Sayer from Newfund
Jonas Wenke from Commerz Ventures
Investors need founders as much as founders need to be backed by VCs. The VC world is mysterious and scary to most founders, & non-partners have very little (personal) visibility in the ecosystem.
That’s why we do Young Tigers. This event flips the power balance of traditional pitch competitions and gives young VCs a platform to defend their fund in front of founders!
- 3 separate rounds about their investment thesis, portfolio & post-investment support
- Between each round, two entrepreneurs (Canelle Chokron from Vybe & Victor Nourrissat from Sidekick) will comment on their performances
- In the end, the audience selects the winner by clapping their hands!
When: Wed, Feb 19th at 06:30 pm
Where: The Family, 25 rue du Petit Musc, Paris
What: 3 rounds + Q&A
