Cohere is a member-owned network of co-living spaces that combine the value of owning a home, the freedom of renting and a sense of belonging wherever you go. Our members are comprised of changemakers, cultural creatives and impact entrepreneurs, creating meaningful change in the world. Cohere provides spaces that empower innovators to create regenerative solutions, enabling a new way to be in right relations with the planet.

🎯 Why the Time Is Now


Industry Innovation: The pandemic has radically shifted the way we live, work and travel, leaving these industries ripe for innovation as short-term hospitality venues struggle to survive
Market Trends: Facing the challenges of climate change, extractive capitalism, resource depletion, economic recession, geopolitical tensions, housing access, food security, inclusivity and more, the time is now to create radical, meaningful solutions to these complex, systemic issues.
According to a recent Airbnb study, the most common trends among post-pandemic travelers include: taking more trips, traveling to more places, staying longer, working while traveling, exploring remote areas, staying in unique accommodations, and a strong desire for community and deeper connections
First-Mover Advantage: Cohere meets the demands of the market by developing the first global network of co-living communities in remote locations that are designed to accommodate high-functioning remote workers seeking a higher quality of life, purpose-driven collaboration, long-term stays, and a deeper connection with themselves, their community and the natural world

💎 Value Proposition: How We Differentiate


Distributed Ownership: Members are also shareholders who gain equity (SEC compliant "securities tokens") in a diversified portfolio of real estate assets through their participation in the network
Dynamic Equity: The equity gained isn’t tied to a location, which provides members the flexibility of renting while enjoying the benefits of homeownership
Decentralized Living: Members are able to travel freely between a continually evolving network of conscious co-living communities around the world
Resilient Communities: From the materials we use and the construction methods we employ, to our strategically selected locations and integrated food production — our communities are built with resiliency and safety in mind
Innovation Hubs: Our locations serve as immersive impact incubators for our members to mastermind, co-create, and prototype solutions to humanity's most pressing issues
Built for Collaboration: We've designed our spaces to encourage connection, deepen coherence and increase productivity, providing a collaborative and supportive environment for individuals and teams to turn their ideas into reality
Conscious Community: Our member-residents are highly curated to ensure a cohesive experience across our locations, providing a supportive community and meaningful connections wherever our members go
Remote Locations: Our seductively remote locations provide refuge for those seeking to escape the city and be enveloped by the majestic beauty of the natural world
Enhanced Lifestyle: We create the conditions for enhanced wellbeing, personal growth and peak performance through our daily wellness offerings, catered organic meals, coaching and mentorship, facilitated workshops and nature-based experiences
