Redefining Workspaces: Yotam Alroy and the Mindspace Experience

What makes a workspace truly extraordinary? For Yotam Alroy, co-founder of Mindspace, it’s all about crafting an experience that inspires productivity, feels welcoming, and keeps people coming back. In a recent GCUC Podcast episode, Yotam shared the story of building 47 locations across seven countries and how his personal touch has shaped Mindspace’s success.

Hospitality at the Heart of Coworking

For Yotam, hospitality isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the core of what makes Mindspace unique. “It’s the barista’s smile, the design that feels like home, even the scent when you walk in,” he explains. These thoughtful details create more than just a workspace—they build an experience.

Mindspace’s approach to hospitality extends to its community-building efforts, hosting workshops and networking sessions that foster genuine connections. Yotam credits much of this success to strong local teams, ensuring every location feels personal and engaging.

From Tel Aviv to a Global Vision

Launching in 2014, Yotam transformed coworking in Israel by creating a premium, design-focused space in Tel Aviv that reached full occupancy in just five weeks. “What started as a local effort quickly grew into a global expansion,” he says. Today, Mindspace operates in seven countries, blending boutique hospitality with professional functionality.

The Future of Workspaces

Yotam believes the future of coworking is driven by hospitality. “Spaces need to feel like a mix of a boutique hotel and a professional hub,” he notes. His vision emphasizes the human touch, where thoughtful design and personal care redefine the workspace experience.
