Envoy is a workplace platform that helps over 16,000 organizations run smarter offices - from front-desk visitor sign-in and package deliveries to desk booking, meeting rooms, and workplace analytics. Founded in 2013 in San Francisco by ex-Twitter engineer Larry Gadea, Envoy became a unicorn in 2022 after a $111M Series C.
Larry Gadea is the founder and CEO of Envoy, the San Francisco-based workplace platform that turned the humble office sign-in book into a $1.4 billion unicorn. A Romanian refugee who was recruited by Google at 17, created Twitter's 'Murder' infrastructure tool as one of its first 50 employees, and spotted a market gap nobody else noticed: enterprise software had completely ignored the physical office. From smuggled out of communist Romania to building the software that runs 14,000+ workplaces in 70 countries, Gadea's story is one of relentless pattern recognition, resilience, and the stubborn conviction that the office deserves the same engineering love as everything else in tech.
