EmptyChair builds marketplace to book and host workshops and classes

by Startacus Admin
EmptyChair are building an online marketplace, but not for rooms, cars or beauty treatments, but instead to change the way people discover, book and host workshops & classes in London.

To address this, EmptyChair have created an app where users can browse day by day, hour by hour, all the incredible

Because EmptyChair allows anyone to host a class through the platform, people who have traditionally been unable to monetise on their skills are now able host a class for the wider community. Whether you are a student looking to make some extra money, an independent professional or established studio – EmptyChair caters to you. “It’s a brilliant tool for me to manage my ‘empty chairs’, ensuring I run my classes at maximum capacity every time” says Liza Active, a partner of EmptyChair who runs frequent boot camp and nutrition classes.

Despite going up against traditional experience and discovery websites such as Groupon and Virgin Experience Days, co-founder Kirill says “these websites are still surprisingly static, often charge extortionate fees and are not very helpful in finding something that you will genuinely love.”
EmptyChair or ‘London’s best timetable’ as they are branding themselves, is currently only available on the Itunes App store, but they are planning to release the app on the Google Play store and to expand to mainland Europe by the end of the year.
