In a world full of space seekers, finding a meeting space is as challenging as finding a parking space in Colombo. We see coffee shops and cafes filled with people refilling their coffee just to make use of the free Wi-Fi and the peace of mind of having their own workspace. There are also others who end up being disappointed when they find out that their favourite location is booked and unavailable on their preferred date. Further, the process of booking space has become so tedious that you need to make hundreds of phone calls and speak to a number of people. Being a space seeker in the city of Colombo may not be for the faint hearted.

On the other hand, what if the lack of space forces us to think creatively. It is funny how sometimes the answer for most of the pressing issues in life are all around us. Think about it, all of us with a house, garden, car, extra office space, garage space or even parking space can become a space owner to cater to the needs of space seekers. Traditional spaces most often come with unrealistic prices and even with this condition, most places seem to be booked most of the time. This is where you can come in and fill this need with your creative space. Be it a garden, a store, an art gallery or any kind of space, if you are willing to rent it, there will be people to take it.

Now imagine a platform that brings the space owners and space seekers together. A platform which allows you to list the availability, and other relevant details, and reach out to those seeking to rent a space. This will indeed be great news for all space seekers to save money on the multiple coffee refills. If there is vacant office space, you will be able to rent it for the period you want and engage in your work peacefully. If you are looking for a garden to throw a party, there will be space owners willing to rent the space to you. If you are struggling to find space to hold your monthly meetings, fear not as there will be million spaces around you to rent.

Reimagine the use of space and let your creativity lead the way. That is what we at MillionSpaces are trying to do. Giving you control to find the space you want in the comfort of your home or office and not forgetting to mention avoid all the calls and Google searches to find the ideal space. Some call us the Airbnb of spaces, but we’d like to think of ourselves as a matchmaker of spaces. All we try to do is let your creativity run wild and give you the space to express yourself to the fullest.

Space Out.
