Kadence Reaches $15M ARR Managing Hybrid Work for Revolut & Boeing

Dan Bladen, CEO of Kadence, details the strategic pivot from his previous wireless charging venture, Chargify, to a workplace management platform designed for the hybrid era. By repurposing existing infrastructure to address the complexities of corporate real estate, Kadence now serves over 600 companies, including major global brands, by optimizing desk and room utilization. The business model, which charges $48 to $80 per user annually, has achieved net dollar retention exceeding 130%. Bladen emphasizes the importance of maintaining investor relationships during transitions, having successfully navigated a complex cap table restructuring to secure $20 million in Series A funding. The company is currently scaling through high-touch enterprise sales and the integration of AI-driven "SpaceOps" tools, which automate scenario planning and facility management to provide significant operational leverage for workplace leaders.
