The global marketplace for spaces where work meets life.
Squares is a sharing-economy startup that lists venues you can rent — for corporate gatherings, weddings, coworking, photo shoots and creative events — and offers related services like catering and design. Today, more than 2,000 locations across 10 cities in Kazakhstan and Georgia. Tomorrow: Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Texas.
Built from a problem we faced ourselves.
The idea came to Daniil Matskevich in his previous job at a marketing agency, where finding studios suitable for client photo shoots was a constant headache — somebody-who-knows-a-guy, hidden fees, no guarantees.
In 2021, Daniil teamed up with Kassym Kabylgali in Almaty and launched Squares to fix it. The bet: a transparent, vetted directory was missing in emerging markets — from Central Asia to the Caucasus to Southeast Asia.
Four years later, both founders are Forbes Kazakhstan 30 Under 30 alumni, and their story has been featured in Forbes International alongside entrepreneurs from 43 countries.
Three principles that shape every venue we list.
Listed prices. Direct host contacts. No middlemen siphoning fees off your event.
Every venue passes our checks — Wi-Fi, light, capacity and the things that actually matter for work.
One platform from Tashkent to Tbilisi to Texas — for the people building between time zones.
Live in 10 cities. Expanding to 4 more.
