Our impact

In today's rapidly evolving world, coworking spaces are no longer solely defined by providing a flexible and collaborative working environment. As we face pressing global challenges, it has become essential for StartDock to shift our focus towards fostering a more profound, positive impact. By ingraining sustainability, social responsibility, and community empowerment into the foundation of our coworking space.

Why?

“To me it sounds unfair that large oil and gas companies use plenty of mother nature’s resources and are a driving force for climate change, but still their shareholders fill their pockets with money year after year. Something about our capitalistic system doesn’t make sense there, if we look at the challenges we face with planet Earth. Why would you be financially rewarded for causing climate change if you can also use your business as a force for good, like B Corps do?” – Thom Wernke, Co-founder & CEO StartDock
