Manila-based Flyspaces, an Airbnb for workspaces, today announced it acquired its Malaysian counterpart 8spaces for an undisclosed amount. The deal is funded through cash and equity.

The move is a big step toward the startup’s ambition to expand in Kuala Lumpur and the rest of Southeast Asia.

Flyspaces has an inventory of over 800 workspaces across five cities: Manila and Cebu in the Philippines, Singapore, and Hong Kong – apart from KL.

“We are adding a very strong member to our executive team in Lais de Oliveira,” says Flyspaces CEO Mario Berta of 8spaces’ founder.

The company will go live in Jakarta in January next year.
