Today, Industrious serves thousands of members in 11 cities, 92% of whom report feeling more productive after having joined Industrious.

“At Industrious, we treat our members the way the world’s best hotels and restaurants treat their guests,” said Rachael Gursky, Head of Hospitality at Industrious. “Doing this in a thoughtful way results in very satisfied, loyal customers.”

The most recent fundraising round enables Industrious to not only grow its network of cities, but also to add new locations in its existing cities and expand its scope of workplace services to enterprise clients.

“As we experience a transformation in how people work and collaborate, we’ve aligned ourselves with Industrious to transform the workplace and offer a premium solution to corporations, small businesses and entrepreneurs,” said Francisco Alvarez-Demalde, Founder and General Partner at Riverwood Capital. “The Industrious team has established a significant platform and operating track record in less than three years, and this is only the beginning.”
