The latest financing comes on the heels of rapid growth at Robin. The company saw active users in May grow at a rate of 390% YoY as hybrid work has become the new standard for many organizations.

Leveraging Robin’s Workplace Index, the new dashboard is the only benchmarking tool giving employers visibility into where other companies of the same size, sector and region stand on building the workplace environments employees demand.
“At Robin, we’re hyper-focused on creating solutions that fuel vibrant experiences – wherever they occur,” said Micah Remley, CEO, Robin. “The latest round is validation of that vision as it speaks to our investors’ continued belief in the permanence of hybrid work and the criticality of flexible workplace management tools.”
