Karsten Kossak explains to the start-up scene why the company has now gone bankrupt. A round of financing failed and the business has recently not developed as planned. Due to the current crisis, companies are no longer willing to pay their employees for the luxury of exclusive workspaces. Instead of allowing their own employees more flexibility, many companies urged them to return to their own offices, which they had rented anyway. As a result, many companies that Independesk relied on as customers have disappeared.
Kossak told Gründerszene that, despite the bankruptcy, he was already in talks with potential new investors. The idea of not going to the office every day – and above all not always to the same office – is definitely a trend among employees. This can definitely be an advantage for employers, as it increases employee satisfaction.
