OpenSensors secures £3m seed funding led by Crane Venture Partners to scale operations
The seed round was led by Crane Venture Partners to support international demand and product development.
OpenSensors provides data-driven workplace transformation solutions that measure air quality and space utilization to help organisations create safer and more efficient offices.
London-based workplace technology provider OpenSensors has secured £3m in seed funding to support international expansion and product rollout. The round was led by Crane Venture Partners as organisations seek data-driven solutions to manage safe returns to the office and adapt to flexible working models.
Founded in 2016, the company uses Internet of Things sensors and software to track environmental conditions such as air quality and occupancy levels. Its platform serves global enterprises across North America, Europe, and the UK, helping them optimise real estate footprints and reduce carbon emissions.
The fresh capital will enable the firm to meet growing international demand and assist customers in safely reopening workspaces following pandemic-related disruptions.
From the founder
"OpenSensors was founded to use data to measure, understand and improve the world around us. How we work and live are changing faster than we could have ever anticipated. There is a real opportunity for humanity to rethink how we use the physical world with sustainability in mind as well as making the design of workplaces better for people using them. Businesses need an efficient way to gather data about their office buildings to manage capacity so employees can return to the workplace safely and rethink design based on need rather than the status quo."
Yodit Stanton
CEO and founder at OpenSensors
