This article introduces DeskAmigo, a Portuguese startup that creates a marketplace connecting remote workers with over 140 underused venues across Portugal, such as cafés, restaurants, hotels, and coworking spaces. The platform allows users to book hourly or full-day desks, providing a flexible and affordable alternative to traditional coworking spaces while helping venue owners monetize idle tables.
