Pluria Secures $2 Million Led by Sparking Capital, Funding Tops $6 Million

Andrei Crețu and Gabriela Drăghia founded Pluria in September 2020, and it now operates a network of co‑working spaces in 150 cities across Latin America and Europe. The platform lets employees book a nearby desk instead of commuting to a central office, aiming to cut travel time and emissions.

Sparking Capital led the new $2 million investment, with participation from Crescendo Ventures, Empty Ventures, and several angel investors. This round brings Pluria’s total capital raised to over $6 million, following a $2 million infusion from Eleven Ventures in May 2023. The company will allocate funds to three areas: Pluria for Teams (self‑serve access to the full network), Pluria in a few minutes (expanding coverage to additional cities where clients already operate), and Pluria Intelligence (a data layer that turns workspace usage into actionable insights).

Pluria helps companies lower their carbon footprint by enabling workers to walk or bike to a local hub—a benefit the firm’s founders highlight. The expanded network and intelligence tools could attract more distributed teams seeking flexible, low‑impact work options.
