About this listen
We're bringing this one back because it's one of our most inspiring episodes. If you haven’t met Chiko Abengowe, you’re in for a masterclass in scaling coworking with hustle, heart, and zero VC funding.
Chiko is the founder and CEO of Perfect Office Solutions, a 20+ location flex brand that’s built for affordability, speed, and entrepreneurs who just need space to get to work.
We talk about:
-
How Chiko turned $1,000 and a background in staffing into a coworking company serving hundreds of small businesses.
-
The secret behind his “Walmart of coworking” model and why members furnish their own spaces.
-
How he gamifies sales and motivates his team with monthly bonuses and international trips.
-
The art of negotiating leases where landlords cover 100% of the buildout.
-
Why staying lean, scrappy, and mission-driven still wins in a competitive flex market.
If you think you need fancy furniture and deep pockets to grow, this episode will challenge everything.
