Inside BetterCrew: The Coworking Space Helping People Feel Big From Day One
Created on September 02, 2025
A Story of a Space Empowering Startups and Students in Cubao
In the heart of Cubao, tucked just steps away from the Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP), sits a coworking space that’s more than just desks and Wi-Fi. It’s called BetterCrew, and it’s quickly building a reputation as a minimalist, tech-forward haven for freelancers, students, and early-stage founders who want to look the part—long before the world gives them permission.
Built by a small team with deep roots in tech and compliance, BetterCrew was created with a mission: to empower people through smart, scalable systems. The space is designed for those who’ve ever been underestimated for working out of a coffee shop or a cramped home office. The motivation behind it stemmed from one powerful insight:
“We built BetterCrew because we know what it’s like to be underestimated. We help you show up professionally so that people focus on your potential, not your limitations.”
From Frustration to Foundation
The idea behind BetterCrew was born out of firsthand experiences in the startup world wherein perception often outweighed potential. Too many times, early professionals encountered the subtle judgment that came with not having an office address or a proper meeting room.
“Companies would ask, ‘Do you work from home?’ and it immediately made you feel small.”
That frustration turned into fuel. The goal: build a clean, smart, and empowering space that gives people a real chance to be taken seriously from day one.
A Space That Grows With You
What makes BetterCrew more than just another coworking space? It’s the intentional balance between simplicity, scalability, and support.
- Minimalist yet brutalist design fosters focus and clarity.
- Flexible memberships and virtual address options make it accessible for teams of all sizes (even solo operators).
- Onsite amenities like meeting rooms, printing, and document storage help users operate like they’ve already “made it.”
- An in-house digital platform allows members to book rooms, manage payments, and track usage all in one place.
And the vision doesn’t stop there. New features are being rolled out, including a virtual assistant service with a dedicated business number, VIP pricing, and an exclusive community ecosystem for members.
The ultimate goal? To help users grow their brand presence and operational capabilities, even without a full team behind them.
Designed for the Doers
If BetterCrew could be described in just three words, they’d be: Simplify. Community. Empower.
There’s a grounded energy in the space. This is what the creators call “raw but refined.” It’s not flashy, but it’s focused. BetterCrew welcomes those who want real progress, not just a cool Instagram photo of their laptop and latte.
And it’s not just about work. The space also opens its doors to events that bring people together—from pitch nights and startup bootcamps to relaxed board game meetups and trading card nights.
Who Is BetterCrew For?
- A startup founder trying to impress investors
- A freelancer needing a professional setting
- A student building your first big idea
- Or just someone looking for community without corporate pressure
Hidden Gems
Guests might overlook the depth of BetterCrew’s offering on their first visit. Beyond the minimalist aesthetic lies a growing ecosystem: a digital-first experience, future-forward tools, and a community-powered platform that quietly equips users with the infrastructure they need to scale.
Final Word
BetterCrew is more than a space, it’s a statement. It's for the overlooked, and the just-getting-started.
“We created not just a workspace, but a launchpad for people who deserve to feel big from day one.”
If you're ready to level up your presence without the pressure of traditional office life, BetterCrew is the space to watch. And more importantly, the space to grow.
