Codi, a new startup created by Christelle Rohaut and Dave Schuman, just released a groundbreaking AI-powered platform. This game-changing technology is poised to become the new office management superstar. Codi, which was founded in 2018 and is supported by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), connects companies to flexible office space. Simultaneously, it makes their administrative work less burdensome and more efficient.
Codi has now raised a total of $23 million to date, a strong step forward since its last funding round. Last year, the firm closed $16 million in Series A funding. The startup’s latest offering seeks to fully automate office management, addressing the often cumbersome processes associated with running physical workspaces.
Codi’s reimagined platform has already won over big-name clients including TaskRabbit and Northbeam. Indeed, it closed 40 new companies in just a few months after its launch! Rohaut says all but one of Codi’s active clients have been migrating work over to the AI platform. This trend is symptomatic of a booming market interest in automated solutions.
“Office management remains very manual and broken,” Rohaut stated, highlighting the inefficiencies that many organizations face. Codi’s AI has been trained on years of data and industry expertise. This tactical training prepares it to make operations more efficient with a laser-like focus. The platform’s advanced automation tools save companies hundreds of hours in administrative tasks each year. This efficiency provides them with the ability to be more purposeful with their resources.
Codi’s method frees up staff time spent sorting through, hiring, and managing a patchwork of vendors. Through a unique and highly specialized ecosystem of curated service providers, the platform takes the hassle out of worrying about the ins and outs of office logistics. This autonomous execution allows businesses to focus on what matters most: cultivating workplace culture and driving growth.
With such an interconnected future, office management would become much less cumbersome and Rohaut sees an opportunity for creation. “Codi is building the future where offices can run themselves, just like cars can drive themselves,” she remarked. This ambitious vision proposes to completely eliminate the logistical hassle of having to manage physical spaces.
Codi reached that amazing milestone only five weeks after launching its beta version. It took off a little bit. It got to $100,000 in ARR. This dramatic success is a testament to the need for more nimble office management solutions in today’s increasingly flexible and dynamic workplaces.
Yet Codi would not only be up against legacy management companies but workplace experience platforms, like Envoy. Yet, its use of AI technology in such an innovative way makes it a true leader in the industry. They’re part of the larger digitization wave impacting every industry. The startup’s focus on streamlining management with automation is a major step in that direction.
