About InnerSpace

InnerSpace is the sensor-free, Al-driven workplace intelligence solution that eliminates the guesswork in workplace strategy and corporate real estate

We started InnerSpace to solve the pain of navigating through the built environment.

We wondered why so many location-based services and solutions were available for the outdoors - yet so few for the indoors?

There seemed to us an enormous possibility for businesses to create better services and solutions for employees and consumers — for radically changing how we experience the indoors in much the same way as GPS has changed how we experience the outdoors.

Today, InnerSpace is venture-backed by investors such as BDC, 500 Startups, MaRS Discovery District, Creative Destruction Lab and more. And our clients are some of the largest, most forward-thinking companies in the world.

Accelerated in part by the pandemic's impact on workplaces, InnerSpace clients are turning guesswork into data-driven decisions driving return-to-work plans, hybrid transformation strategies and to rationalize and optimize their real estate portfolios in this new world of work.

We spend the majority of our lives - work, rest, and play - indoors.

Our indoor experiences are a defining element of our culture.

But the indoors is a finite resource. To make the most of our indoor spaces, we must adapt them to the ever-changing ways people use them.

This requires the science to deeply understand our behavior indoors.

Thing is, measuring indoor behavior was very difficult to do… until now.

From a wayfinding solution to something vastly bigger

InnerSpace was inspired by a trip to the Met in New York.

CEO and co-founder, James Wu recalls being handed a paper map to navigate the space on his own. It provided no additional information. No guidance on the best times to go to avoid crowds, or the best pathways to get from one exhibit to another. But... all of that information was available using multiple apps for the rest of his New York trip, outdoors.
