The round was led by High Alpha, with participation from Kickstart, Midwich Ignite, Four Cities Capital, and Mantaray. Kadence also secured backing from 515 Ventures, led by Okta Co-Founder Frederic Kerrest, and welcomed Aaron Skonnard, Co-Founder and former CEO of Pluralsight, to its board. The raise signals strong confidence in Kadence’s mission to redefine workplace productivity in a hybrid-first world.
Kadence is building what it calls the “operating system for the modern workplace,” designed to unify people, spaces, and schedules into a seamless, AI-enhanced workflow. With more organizations shifting to flexible work models, the need for intelligent, integrated workplace coordination tools has surged. Kadence aims to address this by offering a single platform that includes space booking, occupancy insights, and schedule management—enabling companies to make informed decisions about how and where teams work.
Since pioneering AI-driven workplace management in 2023, Kadence has grown rapidly and is now used by over 10,000 teams across 40+ countries. Customers such as Boeing, Ashurst, and BDO report significant ROI, including a 20% average reduction in real estate costs and up to 40% improvement in productivity. Its success reflects a growing demand for tools that not only streamline operations but also improve employee experience in an increasingly distributed workforce.
Looking ahead, Kadence plans to double down on its core differentiators: AI-powered coordination that adapts to team behavior, user-friendly design that encourages adoption, and integrated capabilities that eliminate the friction of fragmented workplace systems. This new capital will also help the company enhance its partnerships and integrations with major property and facility management platforms like Yardi, Entrata, and RealPage.
As hybrid work continues to evolve, Kadence positions itself as a critical enabler of smarter scaling, faster decision-making, and more connected workplace cultures. This funding milestone reinforces its role in shaping a future where coordination—not location—is the foundation of organizational success.
