Khaled and ElSarrag launched the on-demand workspace booking platform Hotdesk in 2021 as the Airbnb of office spaces. It allows users to find desks, meeting rooms, and offices, enabling companies to generate money from their empty office space. As of October 2023, Hotdesk had enabled over 350,000 people to work from coworking spaces for over 2.5 million hours through a network of more than 1,700 offices in over 45 countries and over 200 cities. In 2023, Hotdesk acquired the Barcelona-based co-working app YADO.
