Multi-Org Self-Hosted Workspace Suite for Micro-MSPs and Portfolio Operators

TinyCld open-sourced a lightweight workspace (mail, docs, spreadsheets, drive) born from a Google Workspace rug pull, and the HN comment that mattered came from a user asking about the multi-org feature for hosting clients in separate organizations. People running several small companies, and the micro-MSPs serving them, have no light-footprint multi-tenant workspace option between consumer Google and heavyweight Nextcloud. Packaging multi-org workspace hosting with billing is the underserved wedge.

Problem Statement

An operator runs three small companies where employees wear hats across two of them. Google Workspace means three separate billed tenants and identity juggling. Nextcloud means a heavy stack one person must babysit. The TinyCld maker built multi-org support precisely because adding people to org A and B but not C had no lightweight answer.

The Idea

A self-hostable, multi-organization workspace suite with per-org domains, user management, and billing hooks, sized for operators running multiple small companies or client tenancies.

Why Now

Google's 2025-2026 enforcement sweeps converted legacy free workspace users into refugees, and the TinyCld thread shows both the rug-pull resentment and the multi-org demand in the same conversation. Nextcloud and ownCloud remain too heavy for one operator serving five tiny orgs, a verdict a commenter delivered from direct experience.

Target User

Portfolio entrepreneurs running multiple small entities, micro-MSPs hosting workspace for client businesses, and accountants managing entity clusters
