Accepted Answer

Yes — STARTPLATZ has three private office listings across its Cologne and Düsseldorf buildings in Germany.

STARTPLATZ's site describes team offices for 2 to 30 people, priced on request, with members getting the full STARTPLATZ network and its member benefits. Every one of STARTPLATZ's listed buildings is furnished and air conditioned. Office size and price vary by building, so compare the private office listings for Cologne and Düsseldorf separately.

Question 5

Can I book a meeting room at STARTPLATZ?

Accepted Answer

Yes — both of STARTPLATZ's buildings record meeting rooms, bookable at a charge. Meeting rooms are not listed as separately bookable spaces here; STARTPLATZ arranges them at the centre.

The address product is not listed as bookable space here. Before registering a company or trade at the address, confirm with the Handelsregister and your local Gewerbeamt.

Question 7

Is STARTPLATZ open 24/7?

Accepted Answer

Reception is staffed Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. STARTPLATZ says its AI Community Pass in Düsseldorf is limited to daytime access, so the hours you get depend on the plan, not just the building. Confirm access arrangements for private offices when you enquire on the listing.

It also runs a Bootstrap programme for self-funded teams of 2 to 4 people, which requires an application.
