community.

tershouse runs two coworking houses in Sarajevo and the operating system that ties them together. This page is for the dry stuff — the story, mission, facts, and press contacts.

How it started

Why we're called tershouse.

Ters je osoba koja misli da je uvijek u pravu — samo to drugi ne vide.

Abdulah Sidran

Take that and add one twist: respect. Being ters at tershouse means having strong opinions, holding your ground, and treating everyone else's opinions exactly the same way. That's the founding rule.

The space itself started in Berlin. Our founder spent months working out of coworking houses there in 2018–2019 and came back to Sarajevo unable to find anything close. So in October 2019 — a few months before the world stopped — tershouse opened.

Today it's the largest coworking space in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Freelancers, startups, agencies, NGOs, corporations. People who don't care which industry the person at the next desk is in. Who help each other anyway. Who have opinions and respect other people's opinions in the same breath. That mix is the point.

Mission & Vision

Why we exist.

Mission

Build the environment where companies, startups, and individuals can grow — for the community and for themselves. Set new standards. Make the support culture the default, not the exception.

Vision

Become the heart of the BiH startup scene. Where investors, companies, and freelancers actually meet — and build instead of outsource.
