She joined HAAB seven months ago, an experience that transformed her life in Mexico City. Originally from outside the city, HAAB gave her the opportunity to connect with many people, build community, and feel at home. She especially enjoys the events, the vibrant atmosphere, and the daily interactions with members. For Marisa, HAAB is much more than a co-working space—it’s a place to connect and grow.

“Ya no quería tener una oficina convencional, buscaba una oficina colaborativa. Llegando a HAAB, nos hemos dado cuenta que podemos sumar y potenciar esfuerzos para lograr proyectos más grandes.”

HAAB is great. I found it at first because it’s one of the closest shared office spaces to my Airbnb — but I walk in and it has really fast internet, which matters a lot since I do a lot of video calls for my coaching. There are also a lot of great community events. I can’t make all of them because of the new-fatherhood thing, but when I do have a chance — when my husband is watching the kiddo — they’re really great, and a great way to meet new people and feel like I have some community here while I’m away from home in Philadelphia. And, you know, they’ve got great coffee.

“It’s divine to work here: when I have a moment of stress, I go up to the terrace for a coffee or a mezcal, and everything improves. The collaborative culture of the people always results in very cool projects, and the events, whether social or innovative, are always very useful.”

Being part of HAAB has opened doors for me — connecting me with creatives from different industries and giving me the space to grow, collaborate, and establish myself locally.

“As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to feel isolated, like you’re the only one facing certain problems. When you come to a community like HAAB, you can speak the same language and make use of the different tools within the community to strengthen your project and your team.”

For Marco, what he values most about HAAB is being part of a community where he has made many friends and found a space full of energy and inspiration. With countless events and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, HAAB feels like his second home.

Estaba buscando salir de mi cocina, que es en lo que se había convertido mi oficina. Sentía que estaba perdiendo mi intimidad doméstica, mi vida en casa — y busqué un lugar que fuera una mezcla entre actividad y pausa. Aquí siento que tengo espacio para pensar en silencio, sin muchas interrupciones, y al mismo tiempo la energía de las personas se me contagia. Aunque todavía no he platicado con tantas, esa energía me hace sentir más activa que estar sola en una cocina.

Llegué a HAAB después de ver como cinco espacios de coworking que no me convencían — una amiga me habló de HAAB y me encantó desde la primera visita. Llevo aquí mes y medio, poco más de un mes, y creo que aquí me quedo un buen rato.
