Thanks for hunting us, @Kevin! Hey Product Hunt, Growrk Remote team is here! Growrk makes it easy for companies of all sizes to set-up their remote workers with premium workspaces on an accessible and flexible low subscription. The idea of Growrk came to us to scratch our own itch. While building a previous startup in the Bay Area, we had to deal with insane office budgets and struggled to find local talent at reasonable rates. We decided to build and manage a distributed team instead and realized three things along the way: 1- The large majority of remote workers prefer to work from home (Not coffee shops or co-working spaces) 2- High-quality ergonomic home office furniture is expensive ($2k to $5k per workstation set) 3- A monthly remote worker's home office stipend is not enough to cover these costs, and many startups don’t have the budget to offer it. When we saw that a solution was sorely missing, we decided to build it. With Growrk companies can equip their remote teams with premium workstations at a fraction of the cost, with full flexibility to upgrade, swap, return or buyout pieces to scale or downsize as the company grows, at the touch of a button. We're excited to be building a cost-efficient, easy and scalable solution to ensure remote teams work safely, comfortably and productively at home. We are looking forward to your feedback!

Nice idea! Is there a minimum spend/size for employers (e.g. is there anything stopping e.g. a freelancer using this for their home office)?
Carlos N. Escutia
Thanks, Kieran!. There are no minimums and free-lancers can use our service, the only additional requirement to companies is that we run a soft pull check as part of our verification process. Thx!

Thanks, Nacho!

I like that everything is moving towards remote services. This service compliments an empty space of hardware + software. The software exists, now easy access to quality office equipment provides an excellent leverage point for companies to use their capital more efficiently, essentially a competitive advantage. Great work.@GroWrk @cescutia

Congrats @cescutia and team! @Growrk is a great product and solves a true pain point for expanding businesses.

Thanks, Vivek.
Roberto Guido
@cescutia @growrk @vivek_boray1 definitely agree, companies make large investments in office space, but the opportunity is to leverage employees that work from home with an office like feel.

Awesome idea! We do 80% home office in my company. This solves a lot of issues. Is this in MΓ©xico or will it be anytime soon?
Carlos N. Escutia

GroWrk is looking to solve a growing and much needed issue-- how to support remote workers in a scalable and cost-efficient manner. As office leasing and commutes continue to rise, GroWrk helps companies to provide high quality workstations for its employees. Looking forward to GroWrking!!

@miguel_sosa thanks for your good wishes, Miguel!

Product looks practical and quite a lot of products don't fit that narrative but ?makers would be great if people could get the minimum cost of acquiring this product
