S2 E111: The Resurgence of Virtual Office Spaces

Approximately 30 years ago virtual office spaces made a splash through the US and around the world with flexible space suitable for startups and entrepreneurs on the move. Also known as executive suites, the first such office was launched back in 1962 but did not gain mass popularity then and was limited by the lack of technology yet to come.

About 15 years ago, co-working spaces launched everywhere and become the new hip trend for startups and enterprise companies looking for a temporary space to launch new projects in different markets.

Virtual office space is taking over the world with large corporations like Google and world leaders agreeing that it could be the future for businesses.
