Globe St. | Bringing Startups and Investors Together

Did you see the exclusive Globe St. article, “Bringing Start-Ups And Investors Together” featuring TenantBase? We were very excited to be featured in this piece about the upcoming partnership between TenantBase, OCPRENEUR, and WeWork.  

TenantBase, OCPRENEUR, and WeWork look forward to this chance to create unique collaborations between Orange County entrepreneurs, potential partners, investors and advisors. Starting in July, we will co-launch our first in a series of exclusive events in which startups will have the chance to meet and form mutually beneficial partnerships with peers, advisors, and investors.

 

At each event, a small selection of local Orange County startups will be invited to briefly present, network, and build relationships with interested potential investors and advisors. Because the events are small (under 25), each attendee will have the opportunity to engage in deeper, more productive conversations and gain valuable connections for the future. 

 

The event will consist of short presentations, followed by an hour of introductions and conversation, when investors and advisors are encouraged to bring questions and feedback to each startup. Ultimately, the goal of these events is to support our entrepreneurial community and creating fundraising opportunities for local startups.

 

For consideration, startups are encouraged to submit an online application. A maximum of three will be invited to present and network at each event. 

We encourage interested investors to reach out to our Marketing Director, Chelsea Cain, at Chelsea@TenantBase.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TenantBase work?

TenantBase reverses the traditional commercial real estate model. Instead of spending weeks searching listings and contacting landlords, tenants share their requirements — location, size, budget, and timing — and TenantBase matches them with qualified local tenant-rep brokers and relevant market options.

What does a tenant-rep broker actually do?

Tenant-rep brokers provide market expertise, advocate exclusively for tenant interests, and manage the leasing process from start to finish — space selection, negotiations, and concessions — helping reduce risk and improve outcomes at no direct cost to the tenant in most U.S. markets.

What's the difference between a gross lease and a net lease?

In a gross lease, one all-in rent payment covers most building expenses. In a net lease, tenants pay base rent plus some combination of property taxes, insurance, and CAM charges on top. Those pass-throughs can add 30–100% above the face rate, so understanding the structure before you tour is critical.

Who are the Partner Broker Highlights?

Partner Broker Highlights feature trusted tenant-rep brokers in TenantBase's network — their background, market expertise, and approach to representing tenants. It's designed to help businesses find and vet the right local advisor before starting a search.

How does TenantBase help me find the right space for my business?

TenantBase combines technology with local tenant advisors to match searches based on headcount, growth plans, budget, and timing — streamlining discovery and helping teams lease space that fits their operational and financial goals.
