Cal.com began as the answer to an awkward search: “Calendly open source.” Five years later, its hosted product went private while a separate scheduling engine stayed public. The split tells a larger story about what a booking link becomes when it must run a business.
Kadence
Kadence is a workplace operations ("WorkOps") software platform that helps enterprises coordinate people, time and space across hybrid and distributed teams. Born from the pandemic-era pivot of wireless-charging startup Chargifi, the San Francisco- and London-based company unifies desk and room booking, visitor management, team scheduling, occupancy analytics and AI-powered coordination into one platform. Kadence is used by more than 10,000 teams across 40+ countries, including Boeing, Ashurst and BDO, and raised a $20M Series A in 2025 led by High Alpha.
