We've used models where each office includes a certain number of memberships, and an agreed-upon rate for additional members.
It's completely fair and to be expected. It can actually be great if a team is too big for its own space; it helps ensure they don't hole themselves up in their room and never interact with the rest of the community. I'll add a little beware: allow the team to occupy a large portion of your overall membership at your own risk. They will leave one day, and that day will hurt a lot. Counter this by working hard to develop a strong relationship with the team and founders. Look for all opportunities to integrate their culture with the rest of your membership's, and consider how they might continue to participate in your community when they do one day leave. Good luck!
