David’s entrepreneurial stint began while he was a university student. He and some friends opened a restaurant, which grew to seven locations. When they needed office space and couldn’t find what they wanted, Bee+ was conceived, designed and built with bespoke containers, and today they have five locations in three Chinese cities.
Bee+ has grown to be more than just co-working space. Bee+ aims to be the place workers want to spend 16 hours of a typical workday, offering places to work, rest, eat, meet, snack, and relax.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
- Why Dave became an entrepreneur
- How Bee+ has grown and changed over the last three years
- How Bee+ is different from other co-working spaces
- Dave’s advice for aspiring entrepreneurs
