With deskbird, companies can eliminate empty desks, reduce wasted space, and create offices employees actually want to return to,” said Ivan Cossu, Co-founder and CEO of deskbird. “Every company will eventually realise that their physical workspace is as critical to competitive advantage as their technology stack. This funding accelerates our mission to make that future accessible today.”

With hybrid work, shared desks, and flexible offices becoming the norm, 65% of companies still lack proper management solutions, leading to significant costs. Data from over 10,000 offices shows workspaces can be oversized by up to 60%. For example, a company with 1,000 employees, 800 desks, and 2.5 office days per week could lose over €5 million annually due to empty desks the equivalent cost of hiring 50 people.

deskbird’s clients include Samsung, Deloitte, Philips, and Airbus.

“deskbird is doing more than just building a product, they’re reshaping how modern workplaces run. We’re excited to see this funding used to expand their product into new sectors such as [real estate], and take it to key markets like the UK: cementing their position as Europe’s category leader and setting a new standard for the future of work in the process.
