The muShanghai Campus

Not a hotel ballroom. A purpose-built space for builders who need to ship real work, take investor calls, record podcasts, and run into the right people between sessions.

Campus layout. Bilingual labels (English/Chinese).

Where you work

Two modes: heads-down and collaborative. Switch between them based on what your day needs.

Deep work

Cowork B (Silent Zone)

Dedicated quiet space for focused work. No calls, no conversations. Desks, power, fast internet. The place to actually get things done.

Collaboration

Cowork A

Open co-working for teams and conversations. Flexible seating, whiteboards. Where most of the spontaneous co-founder meetings happen.

Private

Call Booths

Soundproofed phone booths for investor calls, team syncs, and anything you don't want the whole floor hearing.

Meetings

Small Meeting Rooms

Bookable rooms for small groups. Partner meetings, pitch practice, deal discussions.

Where things happen

From keynotes to hackathons, these are the spaces where the program runs.

Main stage

Tiered Classroom

Stadium-style seating for talks, panels, and demo days. Proper staging, screen, and AV setup.

Hands-on

Workshop Space

Flat-floor space for interactive sessions, hackathons, and build sprints. Tables reconfigure for different formats.

Content

Media Room

Equipped for podcast recording, video interviews, and content creation. If you're documenting your China experience, this is your studio.

Gathering

Town Hall

The main open space. Morning announcements, evening mixers, yoga sessions. Flexible enough for 200+ people or intimate breakouts.

Where you recharge

A month is a marathon, not a sprint. These spaces exist so you don't burn out by week two.

Food & Drink

Beverage Bar

Coffee, tea, drinks. The place where half the best conversations happen. Centrally located between co-working and event spaces.

Outdoors

Outdoor Dining Areas

Two terraces flanking the building. Shanghai weather in May/June is warm enough to work outside. Meals, informal meetings, fresh air.

Social

Social Lounge & Casual Seating

Sofas, casual seating, the vibe of a good hotel lobby. Networking that doesn't feel like networking.

Downtime

Game Room & Cinema

Decompress. The game room for active breaks, the cinema/chill zone for when you need to switch off completely.

Partner & operations areas

Sponsors

Partner Exhibition Area

Dedicated exhibition space for sponsors and partners. Demo booths, product showcases, recruitment. This is where companies meet builders.

Branding Wall & Wayfinding

Sponsor logos, event branding, and clear signage throughout. Bilingual English/Chinese so nobody gets lost.
