When you join Plexal you get more than a desk: you get a partner.
With Meet @ Plexal, all founders get 1:1 access to Plexal’s innovation and leadership team. Book in a time with us and we’ll explore how we can support your mission, whether it’s making an introduction, helping you with a challenge you’re stuck on or spotting a way for us to collaborate with each other.
All members also get free 1:1 consultations with our partner Informed Funding, who can advise you on cashflow, financial forecasting and raising investment.
Then there’s the on-site experts at Plexal, who we’ve chosen for their experience in advising startups and scaleups on branding, insurance, banking, legal issues and recruitment.
And our community team is always on hand. From fixing an IT issue to recommending somewhere for lunch, they’ve got you.
We’ve got our own indoor park, private phone booths, a workshop space for rapid prototyping and plenty of snugs and booths for impromptu meetings that are free to use.
You can also book our 20-seater boardroom or smaller meeting rooms when you need some privacy.
Some members prefer a private office or a fixed desk, while others like to grab a desk in our hot desking areas or recline in a deckchair in Plexal Park.
