Its flagship platform - marketed as Jumpree and, more recently, SpaceOnAI - lets enterprises book desks and meeting rooms on 3D floor maps, forecast space demand, roster teams, and analyze how offices are actually used. Founded in 2017 by former Cisco India president Dinesh Malkani, the company serves Fortune 500 clients across 30+ countries and integrates deeply with Microsoft Teams.
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.
Robin
Robin is a Boston-based workplace management platform that helps companies run hybrid offices - booking desks and meeting rooms, mapping floor plans, managing visitors, and measuring how space actually gets used. Founded in 2014 by brothers Sam and Zach Dunn with Brian Muse, Robin now serves thousands of organizations worldwide, including HubSpot, Peloton, Riot Games and UNICEF, and has layered AI agents on top of the office to automate the busywork of getting people and rooms in the same place.
Micah Remley
Micah Remley is the CEO of Robin, a Boston-based workplace platform for hybrid offices - meeting room booking, desk hoteling, wayfinding, and space analytics. He took the top job in January 2022 after selling MineralTree to Global Payments, and previously helped scale energy-management software company EnerNOC from startup to Nasdaq. He is a Yale SOM MBA, a University of Maine ecology grad, and a member of the Forbes Technology Council.
RSC (Robert Stephen Consulting)
RSC (Robert Stephen Consulting LLC) is a San Ramon, California consulting firm that helps large organizations run their buildings like data. Founded in 2000 by Bob Stephen, RSC implements Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS) and Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) software - notably Archibus - and bridges it with Esri GIS mapping through its REALS platform. It serves Fortune 500 companies, government, healthcare, education, energy and manufacturing clients on everything from space planning and chargeback analysis to lease and asset tracking. In October 2024 RSC was acquired by Langan Engineering & Environmental Services to power Langan's growing digital solutions practice.
Xyicon
Xyicon is a Napa, California cloud platform that lets teams 'think outside the spreadsheet' by merging spreadsheet data with PDF and CAD diagrams. Founded in 2000 by Jason Chavez, its SpaceRunner application turns floor plans, elevations and Revit drawings into interactive maps where every asset, room and piece of equipment becomes a data-rich 'Xyicon' you can see, track and report on. It is used across facilities management, capital construction programs, and healthcare facility planning to cut procurement costs, shorten timelines and reduce data errors.
Larry Gadea
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.
Jason Chavez
Jason Chavez is the CEO and founder of Xyicon, a Napa, California-based SaaS company whose flagship platform SpaceRunner turns static PDF floor plans and spreadsheet data into interactive, visual asset management workspaces. Chavez started in technology as a field technician, built ComNet Technology in 2000 as an IT professional-services firm, and pivoted it into Xyicon in 2015 after growing frustrated with facility management software too complex for the people actually meant to use it. Under his leadership, Xyicon has grown to roughly 54 employees, landed major healthcare and construction clients, and built a platform claiming 95% productivity gains and 15% procurement cost reductions for its users.
