Let us tell you about
our thriving hive.
Our History
Happy Hive was founded in June 2017 and started to set up shop in Xavierville Subdivision, Quezon City. Due to several factors affecting the business, the coworking space was transferred to UP Village, Quezon City in late 2017 then Sikatuna Village, Quezon City in 2020.
It started with wanting to help other professionals and startup companies who are having a hard time navigating through the rough waters of entrepreneurship, business formation, and administrative functions to sustain the business. The coworking space was later on incorporated to function as a one-stop shop where students and other entrepreneurs could thrive regardless of their chosen activity.
The company is built on the values of transparency, open-mindedness, and continuous learning. “Happy” embodies the culture and atmosphere that we want to foster both for employees and clients; while the term “Hive” was derived from the concept of beehive where bees intrinsically work alongside to contribute to the survival of the colony. We LIVE, we WORK, and we PLAY, together.
Our Vision
To be the go-to consultants for startups and entrepreneurs
Our Mission
Working together to support happier communities
Worker Bees
The combined experience, skills, and personalities of Happy Hive team members are the key ingredients to our culture and community.
