Submission declined on 22 January 2026 by ChrysGalley (talk). This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers. Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute. Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed. This draft reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for promotion or marketing. Drafts that are exclusively promotional may be deleted without notice. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: promotional language: see Words to watch; personal commentary: opinions or direct addresses to the reader; informal language. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by TheObsidianGriffon 6 months ago.

• Comment: Most of the sources are not helpful to the company discription, where good reliable sources are need, in line with WP:NORG. There are two sources better than the others, the Motley Fool article, which shows balance, and the Long Beach Herald. The first problem is that the source is shown as "Nasdaq" when it clearly is just a content aggregation from Motley Fool, so that needs to change as well as the promotional wording in the article itself.
  Then the wording itself is purely promotional, as an advert. The Motley Fool article had a more balanced wording, which did not make it to the draft. And this is why doing articles on your own company isn't a good idea, since it's very difficult to be neutral, encyclopedic about something close to the heart. Finally the Talk page shows the dread hand of AI / LLM, which isn't a good way to proceed. ChrysGalley (talk) 14:08, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

DropDesk is an online marketplace for hourly venue rentals for office space, meetings, productions, and events. The platform enables venue owners ("Hosts") to monetize underutilized spaces, activities, and experiences while providing renters ("Users") access to venues for work, celebrations, and productions. Reservations are made via the DropDesk mobile app for Android or iPhone or via the company's website. Communication with guests, venue management, and payments are handled through the DropDesk platform.^[1]

The company is headquartered in Long Beach, New York.^[2]

DropDesk was founded in 2017 by Graham Beck and Philip Beck. Philip Beck previously founded the payments company Planet Payment, which listed on the Nasdaq in 2012.^[3][4]

The original concept focused on helping commercial spaces rent out unused desks and meeting spaces, a model covered by Long Island Business News in 2019.^[5] Following the financial decline of WeWork, the company expanded its mission to unlock the potential of other underutilized spaces. In a 2019 analysis, The Motley Fool distinguished DropDesk's "asset-light" software model from WeWork's lease-heavy approach, noting that while the company faced similar skepticism for "labeling itself as a tech company," it did not carry the same debt risks.^[1]

Hosts list their spaces, services, and amenities, including descriptions, photographs, and set pricing. Users can search for available listings, filter by location and amenities, and book reservations through the mobile application or website. The platform generates revenue through commission fees and featured listings.

Aside from transactions, DropDesk offers a "marketplace builder" (SaaS) that allows businesses to create their own two-sided marketplaces. This infrastructure enables operators to manage bookings, users, inventory, and payments directly under their own brands.^[6]
