A classroom, a studio, a meeting room, a dance space, a workshop venue, or a small event space may sit unused for many hours of the day. At the same time, creators, instructors, freelancers, brands, companies, communities, and early-stage teams often face high friction when trying to access physical space.

They may not need a long-term lease. They may not want to pay a large deposit. They may need a space only for a few hours. They may need payment, invoicing, access, and usage confirmation to happen quickly and reliably.

The problem is not simply that spaces are unavailable. The deeper problem is that physical space is still difficult to search, book, verify, pay for, access, manage, and operate with low friction.

SpaceShare exists to solve this.

Our long-term belief is simple: physical spaces should become as ready to use as software. They should be searchable, bookable, payable, verifiable, manageable, accessible, and capable of creating value with lower operational friction.

1. We Are Not Building Just Another Venue Rental Marketplace

From the outside, SpaceShare may appear to be a shared-space booking platform. Users can discover spaces, reserve time slots, and complete payments. Space providers can list their spaces, manage bookings, and turn unused time into revenue.

That is our market entry point, but it is not our final destination.

A basic marketplace can help people find spaces. However, discovery alone is not a strong enough foundation for the future of real-world space infrastructure. The harder problem begins after a user chooses a time slot.

Is the space truly available? Has the time slot already been temporarily held? Has payment been completed? Does the transaction require an invoice? Can the user cancel? Can the booking be refunded? Should it sync with an external calendar? Can the correct person access the correct space at the correct time?

These are not simple listing problems. They are transaction, entitlement, delivery, and operations problems.

A booking is not merely a calendar event. It is a time-bounded right to use a real-world space. It can be confirmed, paid for, documented, cancelled, refunded, synchronized, audited, and eventually connected to physical access.

2. Toward a Shared-Space Operating System

SpaceShare’s product architecture has multiple layers.

• The user-facing SpaceShare App handles discovery, classification, space pages, booking, payment, and user experience.
• The provider and space management layer allows owners and managers to list spaces, manage availability, handle bookings, and coordinate shared management.
• SpaceShare Admin supports internal operations, user verification, space review, order inspection, invoice handling, data correction, and exception management.
• Our cloud-first company data management keeps company files, contracts, financial records, supplier information, operating documents, platform data, and internal workflows increasingly cloud-based.
• Our long-term IoT and physical delivery layer aims to connect paid, verified, time-bounded usage rights with real-world access.

These are not separate ideas. They are different layers of one system.

If the user-facing app is the transaction interface, Admin is the operating control layer. If Chill Room is the physical validation environment, IoT is the real-world delivery layer. Together, these layers form the direction we are moving toward: a shared-space operating system.

3. Chill Room Is Our Physical Demonstration Venue

SpaceShare is not designing shared-space infrastructure only from behind a screen. Our physical venue, Chill Room Taipei Da’an, serves as our first real-world demonstration space and operating laboratory.

The value of Chill Room is not simply that we own or operate a rentable venue. Its deeper value is that it allows SpaceShare to test software, operations, access, customer experience, and management workflows in a real environment.

Through Chill Room, we can observe and validate how users discover a space, how they decide whether to book, whether payment and invoicing are smooth, whether space information reduces questions, whether on-site instructions reduce support work, whether remote management is practical, and whether low-labor operations are possible.

Many marketplaces focus only on the online transaction. But shared-space operations become difficult offline: how does the user enter, how do they use the equipment, what happens if something goes wrong, how is cleaning handled, and how does a booking in an app become a real-world space experience?

4. SpaceShare Admin Is the Foundation of Scalable Operations

A platform cannot scale with only a front-end app. As users, spaces, bookings, verification cases, invoices, and support issues grow, the company faces a real operational challenge.

If every case requires manual searching, manual messaging, manual status checking, and manual follow-up, then operating costs will grow almost linearly with transaction volume.

SpaceShare Admin exists to solve this problem. It is not a conventional reporting dashboard, and it is not simply a data display tool. It is an internal operations and review management system.

Its purpose is to move workflows that would otherwise depend on desktop tools, scattered messages, manual lookup, and founder memory into a cloud-based, mobile-enabled, standardized operating flow.

Human judgment still matters. SpaceShare Admin does not remove the need for human review. Instead, it removes much of the friction around human review by organizing data, directing staff to the right case, standardizing status updates, lowering training friction, and making mobile review possible.

5. Mobile Invoicing Turns Offline Sales Into Formal Revenue Workflows

SpaceShare’s transactions will not always begin and end inside the standard app flow. In the real world, many valuable transactions may come from business development, enterprise customers, custom rental plans, long-term partnerships, brand events, venue collaborations, or on-site sales conversations.

For this reason, SpaceShare’s E-Invoice capability should not be understood merely as a back-office finance feature. It is better understood as a mobile sales invoicing and customer delivery module.

When a business representative closes a deal, whether on-site or online, they can create invoice information, select the invoice type, enter customer details, issue the invoice, and deliver it to the customer directly from a mobile device.

This matters because early-stage revenue often comes from non-standard transactions. Real businesses need flexibility. They need to support enterprise customers, offline conversations, custom pricing, package deals, and immediate document delivery.

Mobile invoicing reduces post-sale administrative work, reduces customer waiting time, and helps offline and custom transactions enter the company’s formal operating and financial workflow quickly.

6. Cloud-First Company Data Management Is Part of Our Operating Advantage

SpaceShare is not only moving space transactions to the cloud. We are also building the company itself with a cloud-first operating model.

At the product level, our platform backend is designed around cloud systems that support users, spaces, orders, verification, payments, and future IoT-related data flows.

At the company level, we manage core business information through cloud-based documents, spreadsheets, files, and company domain systems. This includes company information, financial records, contracts, lease documents, supplier records, payment-related files, operating documents, and external review materials.

This matters because early-stage companies often lose time and clarity when important information is scattered across paper files, local folders, personal inboxes, messaging apps, and founder memory.

Cloud-first data management allows a small team to find documents faster, prepare review materials more easily, support accounting workflows, track contracts and suppliers, respond to partners more quickly, and reduce dependence on individual memory.

It also prepares the company for future AI and automation, including contract renewal reminders, fixed-cost anomaly detection, invoice reconciliation, venue operating reports, investor data package preparation, internal knowledge search, and access-log analysis.

7. Our IoT Strategy Is About Low-Cost Access to Existing Spaces

SpaceShare’s IoT vision is not based on turning every venue into an expensive smart building. The real market is full of existing spaces.

Many spaces already have electromagnetic locks, access systems, switches, meters, power control points, lighting systems, or other hardware that can potentially be connected or controlled. These spaces are not likely to replace all their infrastructure just to join a platform.

That is why SpaceShare focuses on a more practical question: how can existing spaces be connected to digital operating workflows at lower cost?

When a user completes a booking and payment, the system should not only create an order. Ideally, at the correct time, the correct person should be able to access the correct space, and that right should be verifiable, traceable, revocable, and eventually controllable through connected devices.

8. Why This Matters Now

Historically, physical spaces have been operated through long leases, fixed schedules, manual access, and human coordination. But demand is changing.

Creators need short-term shooting spaces. Instructors need flexible classrooms. Brands need small event venues. Companies need training and meeting spaces. Communities need workshop and gathering spaces. Fitness, dance, yoga, family activities, photography, and small business experiments all need more flexible physical entry points.

At the same time, space owners face underused hours, rising costs, labor shortages, fragmented demand, and operational complexity.

The demand side needs lower-risk access. The supply side needs lower-friction operations. Cities need better use of existing physical resources. These forces are converging.

9. Our Differentiation

SpaceShare’s differentiation does not come from a single feature. It comes from the combination of multiple capabilities.

• We enter the market through shared-space booking, but our underlying architecture is a space usage-right transaction system.
• We operate a physical demonstration venue that lets us test real-world shared-space operations.
• We are building an internal Admin system to improve review workflows, invoice operations, data management, and operating efficiency.
• We support mobile sales invoicing, allowing the company to capture enterprise deals, offline sales, custom packages, and venue partnerships.
• We use a cloud-first company data management model for collaboration, review readiness, operating discipline, and future automation.
• Our IoT direction focuses on practical, low-cost integration with existing spaces.

Together, these capabilities position SpaceShare as a company building transaction, delivery, and operating infrastructure for real-world shared spaces.

10. How We Think About Investment

SpaceShare is still an early-stage company. If investors evaluate us only as a conventional marketplace, they will naturally ask about venue count, user count, GMV, take rate, retention, CAC, repeat bookings, monthly revenue per venue, supply retention, and demand-side growth.

These questions matter. We take them seriously. They are necessary for measuring marketplace progress.

But we believe there is a deeper question investors should also ask: can SpaceShare evolve from a venue rental marketplace into transaction, delivery, and operating infrastructure for real-world shared spaces?

If the answer is yes, then the company’s value is not limited to the number of listings in one city. It comes from the operating layer that can potentially be applied to many types of time-bounded physical access.

Capital for SpaceShare is not only about buying traffic or subsidizing bookings. It is about accelerating product stability, lifecycle completeness, Admin maturity, security governance, invoicing and reconciliation, IoT integration, Chill Room validation, third-party venue onboarding, enterprise workflows, and team building.

11. Our Long-Term Vision

Shared spaces are SpaceShare’s first category, but not necessarily the final category. The deeper theme is real-world access.

Today, that means classrooms, studios, event venues, meeting rooms, dance spaces, workshop spaces, and shared spaces. In the future, the same underlying logic may extend to other time-bounded, permission-based, location-based physical assets, such as smart parking, storage lockers, gym time slots, event entry, community spaces, public venue access, temporary workspaces, equipment usage, and brand showroom spaces.

These categories look different on the surface, but they share the same underlying questions: who can use it, when can they use it, has the user paid, has the user been verified, how is access delivered, how is usage recorded, how is cancellation handled, how are exceptions managed, and how can labor cost be reduced?

12. The Future We Believe In

We believe physical space should not be available only to those who can afford long leases, large deposits, renovation costs, and fixed operating commitments.

More people should be able to access useful space with lower risk and lower friction.

When space becomes easier to access, more creators can begin. When space becomes easier to manage, more owners can participate. When space usage rights become systematized, more underused resources can circulate. When IoT and automation reduce delivery costs, space becomes more than a passive asset. It becomes an active node of value creation.

Our advantage is not listing spaces online. Our advantage is turning real-world space usage into a transaction, verification, delivery, and operating system.

一間教室、一個活動空間、一間攝影棚、一個舞蹈教室、一間會議室，可能一天只有部分時間被真正使用。另一邊，創作者、講師、自由工作者、小型品牌、企業團隊、社群與早期創業者，卻常常因為長租門檻、押金成本、資訊分散、溝通往返、付款不便、發票流程與現場交付不穩定，而無法快速取得一個能實際開始行動的地方。

問題不只是空間不存在，而是實體空間仍然很難被搜尋、預訂、驗證、付款、交付、管理與低摩擦營運。

SpaceShare 想解決的就是這件事。

我們的長期信念很簡單：實體空間應該變得像軟體一樣容易被啟用。它應該可搜尋、可預訂、可付款、可驗證、可管理、可交付，並能以更低的營運摩擦持續創造價值。

一、我們不是只想建立另一個場地租借平台

從外部來看，SpaceShare 可能像是一個共享空間預訂平台。使用者可以探索空間、預訂時段並完成付款；空間提供者可以刊登空間、管理訂單，並讓閒置時段產生收入。

這是我們切入市場的入口，但不是我們的終點。

一般 marketplace 可以幫助使用者找到空間，但「找到」本身並不足以成為未來實體空間基礎設施的核心。真正困難的問題，發生在使用者選擇時段之後。

這段時間是否真的可用？是否已被其他人暫時保留？付款是否完成？是否需要發票？是否可以取消？是否可以退款？是否要同步外部行事曆？是否能在正確時間讓正確的人進入正確空間？

這些不是單純 listing 問題，而是交易、權利、交付與營運問題。

預訂不只是一個行事曆事件，而是一段具時間邊界的實體空間使用權。它可以被確認、付款、記錄、取消、退款、同步、稽核，並最終連動到實體存取。

二、走向共享空間作業系統

SpaceShare 的產品架構可以分成多個層次。

• 使用者端 SpaceShare App 負責空間探索、分類、空間頁面、預訂、付款與使用者體驗。
• 空間提供者與管理者工具負責空間上架、可用時段、訂單管理與共同管理。
• SpaceShare Admin 支援內部營運、使用者驗證、空間審核、訂單查詢、發票處理、資料修正與異常管理。
• cloud-first 公司資料管理，讓公司文件、合約、財務紀錄、供應商資料、營運文件、平台資料與內部流程逐步雲端化。
• 長期 IoT 與實體交付層，目標是將已付款、已驗證、具時間邊界的使用權連接到真實世界的存取控制。

這些不是分散的功能，而是同一套系統的不同層次。

如果前台 App 是交易入口，Admin 就是營運控制層；如果 Chill Room 是實體驗證場域，IoT 就是現實世界的交付層。這些層次合在一起，就是 SpaceShare 正在走向的方向：共享空間作業系統。

三、Chill Room 是實體示範場域，而不只是自營空間

SpaceShare 並不是只在螢幕後方設計共享空間系統。公司旗下 Chill Room / 鬆Room 台北大安館，是我們第一個真實世界示範場域，也是營運實驗室。

Chill Room 的價值不只是公司有一個可以出租的場地，而是它讓 SpaceShare 能在真實環境中測試軟體、營運、存取、顧客體驗與管理流程。

透過 Chill Room，我們能觀察使用者如何找到空間、如何決定預訂、付款與發票是否順暢、空間資訊是否能降低詢問成本、現場指引是否能減少客服需求、遠端管理是否實用，以及低人力營運是否可行。

許多 marketplace 只專注在線上交易，但共享空間真正困難的地方常常發生在線下：使用者如何進入？設備怎麼使用？發生異常怎麼處理？清潔如何安排？App 裡的一筆訂單如何變成真實可用的空間體驗？

四、SpaceShare Admin 是可擴張營運的基礎

平台不能只靠前台 App 擴張。當使用者、空間、訂單、驗證案件、發票與客服需求增加時，公司會面臨很現實的營運挑戰。

如果每件事都需要人工查找、人工傳訊息、人工追狀態與人工跟進，營運成本就會隨著交易量接近線性成長。

SpaceShare Admin 的存在，就是為了解決這個問題。它不是一般報表，也不是單純資料展示工具，而是內部營運與審核管理系統。

它的目的，是把原本依賴桌面工具、零散訊息、人工查找與創辦人記憶的流程，轉換成雲端化、手機化、標準化的營運流程。

人工判斷仍然重要。SpaceShare Admin 不是取消人的審核，而是降低人工審核前後的摩擦：整理資料、導向案件、標準化狀態、降低訓練成本，並讓管理者可以用手機處理工作。

五、行動開票讓線下成交進入正式營收流程

SpaceShare 的交易不會永遠只發生在 App 內的標準流程。真實世界裡，許多高價值交易會來自業務拓展、企業客戶、客製化租借方案、長期合作、品牌活動、場地合作或現場洽談。

因此，SpaceShare 的 E-Invoice 能力不應被理解為單純的後台財務功能，而更接近行動業務開票與顧客交付模組。

當業務人員在現場或線上完成成交後，可以直接透過手機建立發票資料、選擇發票類型、輸入顧客資訊、開立發票，並將發票交付給顧客。

這件事重要，是因為早期公司的營收往往不只來自標準化 App 訂單。真實業務需要彈性，需要支援企業客戶、線下溝通、客製價格、套裝方案與即時文件交付。

行動開票能降低成交後行政處理成本、降低客戶等待時間，也能讓線下與客製化交易快速進入公司的正式營運與財務流程。

六、cloud-first 公司資料管理是營運優勢的一部分

SpaceShare 不只把空間交易搬到雲端，也從公司本身開始採取 cloud-first 的營運模式。

在產品層面，平台後端圍繞雲端系統設計，用於支援使用者、空間、訂單、驗證、付款與未來 IoT 相關資料流程。

在公司層面，我們透過雲端文件、試算表、檔案與公司網域系統管理核心公司資料，包括公司資訊、財務紀錄、合約、租賃文件、供應商紀錄、付款相關文件、營運文件與外部審查資料。

這件事對早期公司很重要，因為許多公司會把重要資訊散落在紙本、本機資料夾、個人信箱、聊天軟體與創辦人記憶裡，造成時間與清晰度的損失。

cloud-first 資料管理讓小團隊能更快查找文件、準備審查資料、支援會計流程、追蹤合約與供應商、快速回應合作夥伴，並降低對個人記憶的依賴。

這也為未來 AI 與自動化奠定基礎，例如合約到期提醒、固定成本異常偵測、發票對帳、場地營運報告、投資人資料包整理、內部知識搜尋與開門紀錄分析。

七、我們的 IoT 策略，是低成本接入既有空間

SpaceShare 的 IoT 願景，不是把每個場地都改造成昂貴的智慧建築。真實市場裡，大量空間早已存在。

許多空間本來就有電磁鎖、門禁系統、開關、電表、電力控制點、燈具或其他可能被連接與控制的硬體。這些空間不太可能為了加入平台而全面更換基礎設施。

所以 SpaceShare 更重視一個實際問題：如何讓既有空間以較低成本接入數位營運流程？

當使用者完成預訂與付款，系統不應只產生一筆訂單。更理想的狀態，是在正確時間讓正確的人取得正確空間的使用權，而這個權利可以被驗證、追蹤、撤銷，並最終透過連網設備進行控制。

八、為什麼現在重要

過去，實體空間多半透過長租、固定時段、人工開門與人工協調來營運。但需求正在改變。

創作者需要短時間拍攝空間，講師需要彈性教室，品牌需要小型活動場域，企業需要培訓與會議空間，社群需要工作坊與聚會場地。運動、舞蹈、瑜伽、親子、攝影與小型商業實驗，也都需要更彈性的實體入口。

同時，空間擁有者面臨閒置時段、成本上升、人力不足、需求分散與營運複雜度提高。

需求端需要更低風險的空間取得方式，供給端需要更低摩擦的空間營運方式，城市需要更有效率地使用既有實體資源。這些力量正在同時發生。

九、我們的差異化

SpaceShare 的差異化不來自單一功能，而來自多個能力的組合。

• 我們以共享空間預訂切入市場，但底層架構是空間使用權交易系統。
• 我們營運實體示範場域，用真實環境測試共享空間營運。
• 我們建立內部 Admin 系統，改善審核流程、發票操作、資料管理與營運效率。
• 我們支援行動業務開票，能承接企業交易、線下成交、客製方案與場地合作。
• 我們採取 cloud-first 公司資料管理，強化協作、審查準備、營運紀律與未來自動化。
• 我們的 IoT 方向聚焦於與既有空間做實際、低成本的整合。

這些能力合在一起，讓 SpaceShare 不只是共享空間 marketplace，而是在建立實體共享空間的交易、交付與營運基礎設施。

十、我們如何理解投資

SpaceShare 仍然是早期公司。如果投資人只用傳統 marketplace 的標準看我們，自然會問場地數、使用者數、GMV、take rate、留存率、CAC、重複預訂、每場地月營收、供給留存與需求端成長。

這些問題都重要，我們也必須認真面對，因為它們是衡量 marketplace 進展的必要指標。

但我們相信，投資人也應該問一個更深的問題：SpaceShare 能不能從場地租借 marketplace，進化成真實共享空間的交易、交付與營運基礎設施？

如果答案是肯定的，公司的價值就不只來自某個城市的場地數量，而是來自一套能套用到多種時間綁定實體使用權場景的 operating layer。

對 SpaceShare 而言，資本不只是用來買流量或補貼訂單，而是用來加速產品穩定性、權利生命週期完整度、Admin 成熟度、資安治理、開票對帳、IoT 整合、Chill Room 驗證、第三方場地導入、企業流程與團隊建設。

十一、我們的長期願景

共享空間是 SpaceShare 的第一個品類，但不一定是最後一個品類。更深層的主題是 real-world access。

今天，它代表教室、攝影棚、活動場地、會議室、舞蹈空間、工作坊空間與共享空間。未來，同一套底層邏輯也可能延伸到其他具時間邊界、權限邊界與地點邊界的實體資產，例如智慧停車、置物櫃、健身房時段、活動入場、社區空間、公共場域、臨時工作空間、設備使用與品牌展示空間。

這些場景表面上不同，但底層問題相似：誰能使用？什麼時間能使用？是否已付款？是否已驗證？權限如何交付？使用如何記錄？取消如何處理？異常如何管理？人工成本如何降低？

十二、我們相信的未來

我們相信，實體空間不應只服務於能承擔長租、高押金、裝修與固定營運成本的人。

更多人應該能以更低風險、更低摩擦的方式取得有用的空間。

當空間更容易被取得，更多創作者可以開始。當空間更容易被管理，更多空間擁有者可以參與。當空間使用權能被系統化，更多未充分使用的資源可以重新流動。當 IoT 與自動化降低交付成本，空間就不再只是被動資產，而會成為主動創造價值的節點。

我們的優勢不是把場地放到網路上，而是把實體空間使用權變成可以被交易、驗證、交付與管理的系統。
