Opportunity 1: Condeco

Summary:

Condeco is a desk management and meeting room tool. Using Condeco's workspace scheduling solutions, business can control office occupancy, improve space management, and facilitate flexible working.

"What do you like best?
Condeco is user friendly, easy to navigate, and graphically easy to navigate. It is also easy to add and remove meeting rooms, change the groups and types of rooms, etc. We have used it intensely for the past 3 years and are very happy with the results, it has made a world of difference to the management of our in-house events, catering, A/V, and facilities.

What do you dislike?
A great addition would be the use of icons to help users and administrators get a quick glimpse of services or statuses of bookings on the grid. Other than that, I cannot pinpoint something that we really dislike!"
- Francesca S. ^[1]

Robin is a meeting room and workspace scheduling tool.

In terms of features, this tool is pretty similar to Condeco. In fact, both tools recently launched solutions aimed at organizations gradually returning their employees to the office during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Another interesting similarity is that both companies have raised nearly identical amounts of funding - roughly $30M USD.

Robin is currently used by Shopify, Mailchimp, and Twitter.

Downmarket Opportunity:

The down-market opportunity for this market is to create a software for companies who are moving towards a "sometimes-remote" or "partial-remote" organization, where employees are expected to work remotely some portion of the time.

Our solution will integrate with with a major business email client such as Microsoft Outlook in order to make it easy to see who is in the office on a given day, and make it easy for employees to adjust their schedules to set which days they will be available in the office.
