Have a business meeting, but no office space? Endeavor Miami has entrepreneurs covered.

Endeavor partnered with CitizenM to give startup founders access to meeting rooms and event spaces at its three boutique hotels in South Florida. That includes locations in downtown Miami, Brickell and Miami Beach.

The collaboration will make it possible for early-stage founders to "focus more on scaling their businesses, as they will spend less time worrying about accommodations, meeting spaces, and event venues while traveling," said Claudia Duran, Endeavor's regional managing director for North America. Duran is also managing director of Endeavor Miami's program.

Founded in 2013, Endeavor Miami mentors and accelerates high-growth ventures in the tri-county region. It’s the first U.S. affiliate of Endeavor, a global nonprofit that has advised and helped scale more than 1,000 startups across the world.

Early-stage entrepreneurs don't always have the budgets for private office spaces or meeting rooms. The CitizenM deal will offer access to those amenities at no cost, a perk for founders that want to host a meeting in a professional setting.

Blair Dodson, head of partnerships at CitizenM, said the partnership "reflects our shared commitment to fostering entrepreneurial spirit and community."

Headquartered in the Netherlands, CitizenM has 34 locations across Europe, North America and Asia. The company brands itself as an "affordable luxury" brand.

It's newest hotel in Miami Beach's South Beach neighborhood, equipped with a 24-hour restaurant, gym, outdoor terrace, art display and rooftop infinity pool and bar, will officially open in August.
