Spacemade has shared the sad news that its co-founder, Dan Silverman, has passed away after a brave battle with cancer.
Dan was instrumental in establishing Spacemade with a vision to transform the way we work — focusing on community, flexibility, and the human experience. In his own words: “Workspaces are so much more than desks and Wi-Fi — they’re about community, collaboration, and enabling people to flourish.”
His friend and co-founder, Jonny Rosenblatt, shared a moving tribute:
“Dan was a visionary entrepreneur and compassionate leader, whose sharp intellect, pragmatism and wit left an indelible mark on those who knew him. A natural builder of communities and spaces, Dan believed deeply in the power of people coming together to do their best work.
“Those who had the privilege of working with Dan knew him as a thoughtful and inspiring leader. He brought clarity, kindness, and unwavering positivity to every challenge, always leading with humility and heart.
“Dan was more than a co-founder; he was the driving force behind our mission to redefine the future of workspace. Above all else, he was a wonderful friend, a caring human being, and someone who lived by the very best of values.
“His clarity of thought, integrity, and relentless optimism inspired us all. We are committed to honouring his legacy by continuing to build spaces that reflect his vision.”
In remembrance of Dan, donations are welcomed to Chai Cancer Care, a charity close to his heart that offers essential support to individuals and families navigating cancer.
