Pocket Places Incorporated

Pocket Places Incorporated is a commercial real estate company that provides both shared and private workspaces for individuals, small groups, and small businesses.
== History ==
Pocket Places was founded by Dr. Belinda Pocket as a result of research into high-speed switching of interdimensional portals in the School of Extradimensional Phenomena at the University of Neverwinter.
Dr. Pocket's new innovation was the portal exchange, allowing rapid bridging of portals to work around the point-to-point limitations of mass-produced portals. The portal exchange uses meta-portals to quickly move an exit portal to be directly adjacent to an entry portal, such that anyone passing into the entry portal will have the impression of moving directly into and through the exit portal.
Initial implementations of a portal exchange were purely mechanical and took up to a minute to make a new connection. The current state-of-the-art in portal exchange exploits modern meta-portal technology to allow switching portals together using magical techniques, which can make a new portal-to-portal connection in under one second.
== Products ==
Pocket Places markets the portal exchange technology in the form of various small, portable portal generators that are often placed into a chassis that resembles an object associated with the target market of the particular device. Each such generator comes with an unlimited subscription for access to a particular configuration of workspace.
The base product is the Pocket Portable Meeting Room, which appears as a briefcase containing an entry portal in a convenient roll-out dispenser. Deploying the portal automatically requests a space from the Pocket Places Exchange that is configured with a whiteboard and dry-erase InfiniMarkers.
Pocket Places also offers higher-priced specialized variants of this model aimed at specific trades under their Pocket Workshop brand, with offerings for carpentry, alchemy, metalwork, etc. The higher price of Pocket Workshop products as compared to the basic meeting room confers access not only to a workspace but also to well-maintained tools that are always cleaned and ready to use on entry.
