Campfire

Hong Kong based work-space startup Campfire which provides collaborative and industry focused spaces ranging from the services of Co-working, Co-living and Co-learning has now raised $18 million in Series A funding from several investors with 3 firms co-leading the round along with notable Paris based Ring Capital also participating in this round.

With Campfire being one of Asia’s fastest growing shared spaces network, Campfire is earmarked to boost its network shared spaces in several locations with this investment for Campfire which currently counts few locations in its home-base region of Hong Kong.

Campfire previously raised $6 million this in its first seed round March this year from an undisclosed investor which now counts a total investment of $24 million for 2 year old Campfire.

With Hong Kong being a major and pricey real estate market, Most of the offices in the region are already occupied with the new ones going for hefty prices which might be a burden to growing startups which is why Campfire is providing services to solve this problem as they provide collaborative, intuitive and design centrist shared work-spaces to these startups.
