Marta Rocamora interviews Eva, CEO of Ariv Coliving, a co-living operator in Switzerland, about her venture and the opportunities and challenges of the Swiss co-living market. They delve into the delicate balance between providing privacy and promoting social interactions in co-living spaces and the role of technology in supporting the operational processes. Eva shares her perspective on the untapped potential of co-living in Swiss cities like Zurich, Geneva, and Lausanne, given their strong international presence and expat communities.
Notable Quotes: Eva on balancing privacy and community building in co-living spaces: "Sometimes you just wanna come home, have your own space, close your door, and you don't want to talk to anyone else. But then if people are in the mood to socialize, we have huge communal areas." Eva on the potential for co-living in Swiss cities: "I think there's a lot of Swiss cities, Zurich, Geneva, Luanne, where you have very interesting underlying market dynamics. You have a lot of international firms, you have a lot of expats."
