Naked Hub (stylized naked Hub)[1] is a Chinese coworking company that provides a network of shared workspaces. It is based in Shanghai with locations in China and Southeast Asia.
History[edit]
Naked Hub was founded in 2015 by Grant Horsfield as part of the naked Group (which also operates naked Retreats).[1][2] Its first location was opened on Fuxing Road in Shanghai in November 2015.[3] By June 2016, the company operated 3 sites and was planning to add 9 others throughout Shanghai by the end of that year.[4] In August, former Richemont and Coach executive, Jonathan Seliger, was named CEO of naked Hub. Two months later, the company opened its sixth location at Xintiandi in Shanghai.[1]
In November 2016, the company earned $33 million (USD) in a funding round led by Gaw Capital Partners.[5] The goal of the new funding was to open up 24 to 30 new locations throughout China, Singapore, and other Southeast Asian locales.[6] By April 2017, naked Hub had 21 locations open and under development, twelve of which were in Shanghai and nine others in Beijing, Hong Kong, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City.[7][8] It opened its first Hong Kong location in Sheung Wan in July 2017.[9]
Operation[edit]
By October 2017, naked Hub had 35 locations.[10] Its spaces are designed to house both corporate entities and individual entrepreneurs.[11] The company offers designated seats and non-designated seats in rooms and public areas.[12] Each location has a differing number of work desks.[1][9] According to naked, its clientele is composed of 41% multinational organizations, including GoPro and Viking Cruises. Douban occupies 300 seats at naked Hub.[13]
