The Evolution of Nook: From KTV Partyworld to Nook Coworking Space in Richmond
Every space has a story, and Nook's story begins in an unexpected setting - a once-bustling karaoke bar in Richmond, BC, that had been...

Nook began the way many small organizations do: lean, scrappy, and built on belief.
What started as a potential shared lease between 3 tenants became a living ecosystem where creativity, mentorship, and growth naturally overlap.
We designed the space intentionally: to help founders move from idea to traction, from chaos to clarity. Every event, program, and partnership is built to support that early and mid-stage journey - with resources and community.
Belonging isn’t soft. It’s infrastructure. And the future of entrepreneurship depends on how well we build it.
Today, Nook serves as a creative work club and incubator for founders and fundable startups in Richmond, BC. With 10+ resident specialists volunteering their time to mentor projects, it’s where ideas meet systems, where artists think like creative directors, all within what feels like “your friend’s living room”.

Our vision is to build a connected community and a space for entrepreneurs and creatives to collaborate, innovate, and grow together, starting in Richmond and extending globally.
