I talked to them well a year ago about something like this. They were starting a neighborhood ambassador program where people would be directed to the local coffee shop where they could learn the lay of the land from the proprietors. I suggested that a coworking space could serve this purpose too, but the comment I got was that they wanted to drive people to coffee shops because they’d get a chance to buy local products (like, Airbnb would help place local makers in cafes). I said, ‘huh’?
It seemed so convoluted and not much to do with their biz model. Anyway, that was then. It’s probably time to pitch them again.

Hi guys. I founded a space in paris called Mutinerie and I’am now building Copass that enable people to access a network of hundreds of coworking spaces with one single membership. Funny thing is we also let people see who from the members of the space can host you through airbnb, couchsurfing or directly through Copass. So a bit different than airbrb but at least this is no April’s fool
