Long-time supporter, reader, and now first-time entrepreneur and poster here!

I’d love to share my growth journey over the years and tell you a bit more about a new platform that I’m helping to build and develop GTM strategies for.

I am Tam, one of the founding members of Gable (https://bit.ly/3ctfBnb). We are building a hybrid workplace network of high-end boutique hotel lobbies, meeting rooms, and neighborhood residences purposely redesigned for remote workers, where you can safely work and connect with like-minded people. In addition, for teams and companies, our platform provides workforce management software that helps manage desk reservations and team scheduling for hybrid offices, along with integrated health questionnaires.

Mission:
We are reimaging and rebuilding the future of hybrid on-demand workplace. We didn’t want to just build another boring and noise-filled WeWork-like co-working space. Our dream is to make it more fun, more reliable, and most importantly, safer for fellow remote workers. This dream came from 1) being stuck inside the four walls of our apartments and 2) feeling isolated and lonely because we were craving for that face-to-face, human connection with our friends and coworkers.
We just got funded recently by Stanford’s investors, VC and Techstars.

How it all got started:
Having lived in Saigon my whole life and surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a growing city, I’ve always been a social animal by nature. When COVID hit this time last year, I was trapped in my own house and I thought it would only be for a few months. Yet here we are, a year later, still working (or trying to work) from “home.” For me, what was severely lacking, and dearly missed, was the opportunities to create the same kind of energies, connections, and especially outcomes that could have been easily obtained had I got a chance to sit down with my teammates, even just once a week. We really had been taking those in-person meetings for granted until COVID hit.

Then I met Liza, our co-founder, who had just started the company 3 months prior. She reached out to me because she needed someone to help with growth, marketing, sales, pretty much anything needed to bring Gable closer to end-users. Liza and I both felt strongly about the future of the hybrid workplace — we are both confident that returning to work doesn’t mean everyone will go back to the office full time or will use WeWork full time. Rather, we understand that it will be a combination of the two. People now have options to go into the office for work that cannot be done outside, yet still have options to meet and collaborate with teammates in safe, fun, and secure environments outside of work.

You can check out our desktop web via the link here https://bit.ly/3vhRpfV. We’re also available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

We’re also in need of lots and lots of constructive feedback, so we would love to hear what you think about the future of work, and how you imagine an ideal workplace would be :).

Thanks so much for reading! Excited to meet/connect with fellow remote work enthusiasts and entrepreneurs in the Bay Area and beyond! Stay hungry, stay safe, stay hustling!

Gable's repsonse to COVID-19:
Every time you book with us, we’ll be sending you instructions and a health questionnaire to make sure we comply 100% with safety measures. Right now, all our hotels are government-approved to open by complying with COVID cleaning and prevention standards. They are also equipped with coffee, snacks, and other amenities. We limit the number of people who can enter the space, as well as provide a seamless contactless check-in process. You’ll be able to see fellow space-sharers from a safe distance, their COVID history, and exposure as declared on their questionnaire, and can connect with them should you want to.
Bonus: As I mentioned earlier, we provide hybrid workforce management software for companies, especially hyper-growth startups. One thing we could also provide to you exclusively is a FREE 2-week trial of our software for your teams.
