Our story
The Airbnb of
office space in Africa.
DeskShare was founded on a simple observation: across African cities, there are thousands of empty desks in private offices every day — and thousands of professionals who need a place to work. We built the marketplace to connect them.

Our mission
Make professional, affordable workspace
accessible to every African professional.
Whether you're a freelancer in Lagos, a startup in Nairobi, or a remote team in Cape Town — you deserve a great place to work, without signing a 12-month lease.
What we stand for
Africa-first
Built from and for Africa — with M-Pesa payments, local currency display, and a deep understanding of how work happens on the continent.
Trust & safety
Every host goes through KYC verification. Payments are held in escrow and released only after successful check-in, protecting both sides.
Instant access
No long-term leases, no setup costs. Book a desk for a day or an office for a month — from your phone, in minutes.
Host empowerment
We help office owners, co-working spaces, and businesses monetize idle capacity and build a side income from underused desks.
