DropDesk is an American technology company that operates an online marketplace for hourly venue rentals for workspace, meetings, productions, and events. Its technology allows enterprise users to white-label the software to manage their own online marketplaces.[1]
History
DropDesk was founded in 2017 by Graham Beck and Philip Beck. Philip Beck previously founded the payments company Planet Payment.[2] The company is headquartered in Long Beach, New York.
In 2019, following the closure of the restaurant-coworking service Spacious, industry analysis by Restaurant Dive and Nasdaq identified DropDesk as an alternative model for utilizing hospitality spaces as temporary workspaces.[3][4]
In 2024, the company was cited in the Long Beach Herald regarding partnerships to manage local parking and venue utilization in Long Beach, New York.[5]
Products
The company offers two primary products:
- **Venue Rental Platform:** A two-sided marketplace allowing venue owners to list spaces for rent by the hour or day.
- **Marketplace Builder:** A SaaS platform allowing businesses to create their own branded two-sided marketplaces to manage bookings, inventory, and payments directly under their own brand.[1]
