Shazia Mustafa is an absolute pioneer of coworking. Founder of Third Door in London, Shazia opened the first coworking space with childcare way back in 2010.

Now we’re seeing parent-friendly coworking spaces pop up everywhere, but Shazia remains one of the visionaries of the movement who saw a need and filled it.

We chatted about the inspiration for Third Door, aligning decisions with our values, and what piece of advice she would give people pursuing the coworking with childcare model.
