Kadence Raises $20M Series A to Transform How Enterprises Run the Modern Workplace

Kadence, a workplace management platform focused on hybrid work coordination, has raised $20 million in Series A funding to accelerate its mission of transforming how enterprises operate in the modern workplace. The round was led by High Alpha, with participation from Kickstart, Midwich Ignite, Four Cities Capital, and Mantaray, along with backing from 515 Ventures led by Okta Co-Founder Frederic Kerrest.

The funding brings notable industry leadership to Kadence’s board, with Aaron Skonnard, Co-Founder and former CEO of Pluralsight, joining as a board member. Skonnard’s experience scaling a global, hybrid-first company positions him to guide Kadence’s growth strategy as the platform expands its AI-driven workplace management capabilities.

“At Kadence, we believe the future of work isn’t about location, it’s about coordination,” said Dan Bladen, CEO & Co-Founder. “Whether your teams are working across four floors or four time zones, the modern workplace demands more than calendars and floorplans. It needs an operating system, one that brings people, spaces, and schedules into a single, intelligent flow.”

Since pioneering AI-driven workplace management in 2023, Kadence has gained traction with forward-thinking organizations including Boeing, Ashurst, and BDO. The platform now serves over 10,000 teams across 40+ countries, delivering measurable results including a 20% average reduction in real estate spend and 40% productivity lift in the first year of implementation.

The company’s integrated approach combines space management, scheduling, and occupancy tools into a single platform that adapts to how people actually work. This coordination-focused strategy addresses the growing demand from workplace strategists and real estate professionals seeking data-driven insights to optimize property portfolios and maximize space utilization in the hybrid work era.

Bladen emphasized that the funding represents more than capital injection: “This funding is more than just capital, it’s a signal of confidence in our mission, our customers, and the growing demand for a smarter, more human way to work.” The investment will fuel deeper development of Kadence’s AI roadmap and accelerate the delivery of features designed to unlock performance across enterprises’ two biggest assets: their people and their spaces.

Looking ahead, Kadence plans to expand its platform capabilities while maintaining its focus on creating flexible work experiences that teams actually want to use. The company’s vision extends beyond traditional workplace management to becoming the comprehensive operating system for modern work, helping organizations scale smarter and move faster while maximizing the value of their human and physical assets.
