Take us back to the beginning, how did it all start?
We have to start with infinitSpace, which was founded in late 2020 by brothers Wybo and Wilco Wijnbergen.
Wybo Wijinbergen and Wilco Wijnbergen the Founders of beyond
Our CEO Wybo’s background was as a former Managing Director at WeWork, where he helped oversee the company’s expansion across Western Europe. Wilco, our CTO, is the founder of multiple IT companies, including one of the Netherlands’ foremost business management software solutions.
The co-founders’ different backgrounds and experiences complement one another well; there is a combined understanding around commercial real estate, the future of work, and the role of technology within both property management and flexible working.
Wybo and Wilco shared a vision of how workspaces could be in the future, with amazing spaces and state-of-the-art technology coming together to champion human endeavour and foster relationships.

Crucially, they also recognised a significant gap in the market. For so long, landlords wanting to implement an element of flexspace into their buildings had to give up control of their real estate. At infinitSpace, we help landlords to create their own flexible workspace brands that fully reflect their wider ethos.
beyond is infinitSpace’s own flexible workspace brand.
We call ‘beyond’ the ‘workspace of changemakers’ for good reason – it reflects our commitment to promoting and enabling the very best of human creativity and innovation. Ultimately, the ‘beyond’ concept is about going further, being at the heart of the local community and enabling global professional connections through the latest in workspace tech.
In March 2022, we launched the flagship beyond location and one of the biggest flexible workspaces in the United Kingdom, beyond Aldgate Tower. Our second London site, beyond Kingsbourne House in Holborn, then opened its doors in January 2023.
