01 / MANIFESTO THE MAP IS NOT FULL

52% of the world now works remotely — too often from noisy cafés. Meanwhile European cities hold 300 km² of empty workspace, €243 billion asleep every year. TESSA wakes them up — matching remote workers with certified spaces hiding in plain sight, five minutes from home.

03 / FOR WHOM THE TRUST LAYER BETWEEN THEM

TESSA sits in the middle.
Both sides win.

Workers should not have to guess. Hosts should not have to sell manually. TESSA turns live room data into a verified promise both sides can trust.

TESSA is the trust layer

TESSA

TESSA is the neutral layer in between: it measures the space, explains what it is good for, and makes the booking reliable before anyone arrives.

05 / FAQ GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you ask

Who is TESSA for?

Two sides of the same door: remote workers looking for great workspaces nearby, and landlords with idle offices or hotels ready to earn.

Do the sensors use cameras?

Never. TESSA reads only ambient signals — CO₂, light, noise and humidity. No cameras, no microphones, no personal data. 100% GDPR-compliant by design.

What is the Productivity Score?

Our AI turns live sensor data into a quality and Productivity Score and predicts maintenance before problems affect a booking — so you know whether a space is right for your work before you book.

Do I have to manage the check-ins?

No. TESSA is fully automated. Users book through the app, unlock the door digitally, and walk in. Your staff doesn't need to lift a finger.

When do you launch and what does it cost?

Milan launches first, then Bologna and Florence, through 2026. Pricing is dynamic and set per space. Waitlist members get founding access and early terms.

Why should I join the waitlist now?

Because spaces are limited to prevent overcrowding and maintain high productivity scores. Early members get priority access, exclusive beta pricing, and the power to vote on which neighborhood we open next.
