How a Venture X Franchisee Cut Connectivity Costs by Thousands Across Six Locations
Venture X is a premium coworking brand within Vast Coworking Group (part of United Franchise Group), known for its upscale, design-forward workspaces and hospitality-inspired experience for professionals around the world.
For Tyler Evans and Michael Hicks, co-owners of six Venture X franchise locations across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, the decision to open coworking spaces was shaped by their personal experiences as entrepreneurs.
After selling their previous franchises, they discovered Venture X at a real estate trade show and saw an opportunity to support other business owners and individuals in the communities they care about. They explored several coworking brands but felt Venture X stood out by genuinely aligning with their goals and offered the support they were looking for as first-time operators.
“As two entrepreneurs ourselves, having a business that would help other entrepreneurs was extremely enticing. We’ve gotten to be a part of many, many success stories as a result of the spaces we operate, and that’s what makes this job so fun.”
– Tyler Evans | Multi-Location Venture X Owner
Focused on exceptional member experiences and operational excellence, Tyler and Michael take a hands-on approach to each location. Their spaces bring together 80 to 90 businesses under one roof, fostering collaboration and new opportunities that often wouldn’t emerge in traditional office environments. In 2022, they partnered with isofy to implement simple, secure connectivity at their Greenville, SC location, later expanding the solution across all of their locations.

With six locations across three states and a growing member base, Tyler and Michael’s Venture X team needed a network solution that was secure, scalable, and easy for their team to manage. Frustrated by the high costs and unnecessary complexity of their previous provider, they sought a solution that provided simplified connectivity and the flexible, hands-on support they desired.
With their previous provider, community managers without technical backgrounds had to manage day-to-day network tasks like member onboarding, troubleshooting, and updates using a complex and unintuitive system. Limited network support and unresolved tickets, combined with recurring connectivity issues, downtime, and login disruptions, led to delays and added pressure on staff.
Seeking a reliable, cost-effective alternative, the Venture X team turned to isofy based on recommendations from operators in the coworking community. The simplified approach to network management and focus on responsive, relationship-driven support resonated with Tyler and Michael, giving them confidence that isofy could deliver both the technical reliability and hands-on service they were missing.
With a growing footprint and a lean internal team, Venture X needed a partner who could streamline operations, reduce downtime, and proactively support their members – without adding complexity or overhead.
