There are three ways startups handle workspace. Only one stays flexible.
Most teams start with stipends or jump straight to an office. Croissant gives you a third option.
Working From Home
Flexible — but isolating over time.
- Team collaboration happens in silos
- Culture and connection fade without face time
- Home distractions hurt deep work
- New hires struggle to onboard remotely
Croissant
Controlled, flexible, and designed for change.
- Centralized access instead of reimbursements
- Pay only for workspace that's actually used
- Adjust as teams grow, shrink, or move
- One vendor, one system, clear visibility
Offices
Structured — but forces commitment too early.
- Fixed rent regardless of usage
- Empty desks on slow weeks
- Hard to unwind when plans change
- Big decision before you have data

Testimonials
Trusted by modern, remote-first teams
Startups use Croissant to support collaboration without locking into long-term office decisions.
"Croissant allows us to manage workspace access across regions in a single system, with the flexibility to adjust usage as organizational needs change. It provides visibility, administrative control, and responsive support without adding operational complexity."
"Croissant gives our team flexible access to workspaces across cities while keeping everything centralized and easy to manage. As an admin, I value the clear platform overview, the ability to upgrade or downgrade access quickly, and the option to pause when plans change. Support has been consistently responsive, and the system makes it easy to support team meetups without long-term commitments."

FAQ
Startup workspace FAQs
Everything startups need to know before choosing a workspace solution.
What is Croissant, and who is it for?
Croissant is a flexible workspace platform that gives teams access to thousands of coworking spaces, meeting rooms, and private offices — without leases, memberships, or reimbursements. It's built for startups and growing companies that want in-person work options without locking in too early.
Is Croissant a good fit for early-stage startups?
Yes. Whether you're pre-seed or Series A, Croissant lets you give your team workspace access from day one — with no minimums, no contracts, and no upfront commitment. You only pay for what your team actually uses.
Do we need to sign a lease or commit to a location?
No. There are no leases, no lock-ins, and no long-term commitments. Your team can work from any available space in our network, and you can adjust access anytime as your needs change.
How is Croissant different from giving employees a workspace stipend?
Stipends put the burden on employees to find, pay for, and expense workspace individually — which leads to inconsistent experiences, unpredictable costs, and admin overhead. Croissant centralizes access so your team gets workspace without reimbursements, and you get visibility and control over spend.
Can remote-first startups use Croissant?
Absolutely. Croissant is ideal for distributed teams. Instead of managing multiple memberships or stipends across cities, you give everyone access to one network — wherever they're based.
What happens if our team grows, shrinks, or relocates?
You can add or remove team members instantly, with no penalties or contract changes. If your team moves to a new city, they'll have workspace access there automatically — no sourcing or setup required.
How quickly can we get set up?
Most teams are up and running within a day. You invite your team, set access preferences, and they can start booking workspace immediately.
Is Croissant expensive for a startup?
Croissant is designed to be cost-efficient. You're not paying for empty desks or unused memberships — just actual usage. Many startups find it significantly cheaper than traditional office space or unmanaged stipends.
Does Croissant replace an office entirely?
It can — but it doesn't have to. Some startups use Croissant as their primary workspace solution. Others use it alongside a small HQ or for satellite teams. It's flexible enough to fit however your team works.
