- Will collaborate to accelerate company’s growth as the creator of better workplaces
OfficeSpace Software, Inc., the creator of better workplaces, announced that it has received an approximately $150 million strategic investment from Vista Equity Partners, the leading global investment firm focused exclusively on enterprise software, data and technology-enabled businesses. Vista’s partnership will enable OfficeSpace to continue bringing the future of the hybrid workplace to life for customers and accelerate its efforts to help organizations navigate workplace disruptions and manage workspace dynamics. Existing investor Resurgens Technology Partners is excited to remain a significant investor in the company.
“David and his team have built an exceptional platform and have turned so many clients into passionate believers—including many of our own portfolio companies. We are proud to back OfficeSpace as they continue to improve the employee and workspace experience.”
The new investment from Vista enables OfficeSpace to continue building upon its industry-leading platform, empowering organizations to continually enhance and evolve their workplace strategy, including how they’re allocating their real estate investments and enabling employee productivity through insightful dashboards and reporting. As organizations embrace hybrid work and continue to evolve their return-to-office decisions, OfficeSpace’s cloud-based platform allows customers to simplify how their employees utilize and interact with their workspace, manage desk and room booking, maintain social distancing, and navigate the numerous large and small workplace decisions that companies require in an ever-changing world. The platform serves as the system of record for digital office floorplans and provides workflow tools for human resources and facilities management teams.

With increasing complexity of day-to-day management of workplaces worldwide, OfficeSpace has experienced tremendous growth and has greatly expanded its offerings to meet the rising demand for an intuitive, robust platform for workplace operations. Recently, OfficeSpace launched Neighborhoods, a feature designed to manage the new hybrid reality, enabling customers to manage the return to the workplace. By simplifying flexible seating on a large scale, Neighborhoods provides maximum flexibility to employers in how they can organize their offices – where they choose to group seats and people together by team, project, space type, or collaboration needs, and optimize as needed.
“This is a milestone moment for OfficeSpace as we help our clients navigate the future of work,” said David Cocchiara, OfficeSpace CEO. “We pride ourselves on going above and beyond to support our customers, and this investment allows us to carry on and evolve the service excellence our clients are accustomed to.
