Company profile
researched Sep 2026Serendipia Life Inc. builds and operates coliving and coworking communities, described by the company as a global platform where hospitality meets technology. Its properties combine residential accommodation with shared workspace and a structured community program; the company positions the offering as a lifestyle and innovation club rather than a conventional hotel.
The current site, Serendipia Brussels, is presented as a boutique hotel with coliving residences, serviced apartments, a coworking cafe and conference rooms, and is listed as re-opening soon. An earlier location, Serendipia Nest, was a coliving house in San Francisco aimed at mission-driven millennials. Community programming referenced by residents includes yoga, painting workshops, film nights, a book club and monthly entrepreneurial forums.
The company has been categorized across communities, coworking, hospitality, rental property, social networking, travel and travel accommodations, and is listed at seed stage with a headcount range of 1-10.
Founding story
The company was founded by Jean-Loïck Michaux, who holds a Master's in Social Entrepreneurship from Hult International Business School in San Francisco and a Bachelor in the Arts of Business from the University of Wales in Brussels.

He has also been active in the blockchain sector as co-host of the Blockchain for Social Impact Summit and president of the Belgian Blockchain and Crypto Assets Federation, and co-founded Serendipia's social innovation camps in Thailand and the Serendipia Nest coliving house in San Francisco.

Revenue is derived from the sale of stays and space: boutique hotel rooms, coliving residences and serviced apartments, plus coworking cafe access and conference room bookings, with an associated membership community.
