Robin makes the office smarter with $7 million in new funding
Summary
The company just raised $7 million in Series A led by FirstMark capital, with participation from existing investors such as Accomplice, Boldstart, Fundfire, Space Pirates, and Mike Germano. Meeting organizers often have to deal with the changing and busy schedules of attendees, as well as finding out which room is suitable and open based on that small window of availability. Plus, Robin uses beacon integration, so users don’t necessarily have to sign in to meetings but rather just show up, and the system automatically knows they’re there and when they leave. That means employers can see analytics about the way that their office space is being used in order to plan for the future or better organize their workflows in the present. In other words, if office managers can learn which meeting space or call room nobody ever wants to use, they can probably figure out why and make changes accordingly.
