How members
actually use this place.
Not testimonials. Specific outcomes — who joined, how they grew, what changed because they were here. Real teams, with permission. (Three stories below; more once we publish them.)
Stories below are based on real members; final names + portraits are being confirmed and shot. Treat copy as draft.
Klika
Tech / engineering“We were four people in a room when we moved in. Now we have a wing.”
Klika joined tershouse the month it opened — October 2019. They took two desks in the open coworking. By the end of 2020 they had outgrown those, took a small private office, and were the first members to ever ask if we could hold a wall for them.
Today they occupy a dedicated section on the second floor. Their team has gone from 4 to 22. They run their own internal demos in our event hall. Half their senior hires came through the building — engineers they met at meetups, agencies they partnered with on contracts, clients who walked in for an event and stayed.
When asked why they did not move out into a larger standalone office, the answer was the same every time: "We would have to rebuild this network from zero, and there is no network like this in Sarajevo."
Still here, six years in. 22 people, growing.
Beyond Studio
Creative agency“Three of our biggest clients walked into the kitchen for coffee. Literally that.”
Beyond came to tershouse from a flat in Marijin Dvor. They were tired of the apartment-as-studio thing — meetings on couches, clients squinting at MacBooks, no real way to scale up for big presentations. We had what they needed: meeting rooms, real reception, a kitchen people actually use.
What they did not expect was the deal flow. In their first 18 months at tershouse, three of their biggest accounts started as kitchen conversations — one with a startup founder at a Demo Night, one with an NGO they had never heard of, one with a fellow agency that referred them.
The numbers: they grew from 3 to 6 in two years, kept overhead low (no separate office to maintain), and now run client kickoffs in our meeting rooms with real coffee and real wifi.
2× headcount, 3 anchor clients, zero apartment meetings.
UNDP BiH
NGO / public“We needed a working address that was not the embassy. tershouse gave us one — and a community to test things on.”
UNDP BiH joined as a small team running an entrepreneurship programme. They needed a space that felt like the entrepreneurs they served — not the diplomatic quarter. tershouse fit because it was the only address in Sarajevo where the people in the building were the same people their grants were trying to reach.
In four years, they have run twelve public workshops in our event hall, hosted three accelerator cohorts, and quietly partnered with seven companies on the floor. When their members propose new programmes, the test audience is downstairs.
They renew the membership annually. The case is operational, but also strategic: every UNDP programme that touches the BiH startup scene now starts with a Tuesday at tershouse.
12 public workshops, 3 cohorts, 7 partner companies — all under one roof.
