Employees want to take on meaningful work, care for their loved ones, get in a midday gym workout, and more --\u0026nbsp;wherever, whenever, and however they want. Nearly half of workers say they’d quit if they are forced back to the office full-time.Work is such a central part of our lives --\u0026nbsp;and employees are struggling to reconcile collaboration and social interaction with the convenience and comfort of working from home.After a long, isolation-filled pandemic and last year’s unprecedented employee attrition rates,\u0026nbsp;65% of employees now value flexibility more than compensation.$500 billion a year is wasted on the wrong approach to work --\u0026nbsp;not to mention the time- and morale-related costs.Kettle is the self-organization platform that’s revolutionizing the workplace by helping employees make the most out of their optimal work lifestyle. Kettle is flexibility that works. Kettle’s flexible platform connects people to the right places at the right time. Kettle’s intuitive mobile app and hybrid management platform give people the tools they need to harmonize an effective hybrid workplace.Given that hybrid work is only in its infancy, the platform also gathers useful data that can ultimately help companies save money both in keeping their people happy and recognizing a better ROI on their office space spend. It’s truly a win-win. Kettle does much more than coordinate collaborative work. Now employees can plan team outings, streamline compliance, and support important culture activities like mentorship and bond-building -- effortlessly and efficiently. With Kettle, employees can reinvest 250+ hours each year in personal (non-work) priorities, achieving a healthier work-life balance. And employers can improve retention, build stronger work environments, and save billions each year in real estate costs.Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.Our leadership team has deep software experience and an accomplished history of building companies in the future of work vertical. We’re leveraging everything we’ve learned from pioneering innovative work models at companies like WeWork, Wayfair, and Intuit to humanize the workplace, one hybrid team at a time.Our SaaS business model is designed to land small and mid-sized enterprise (SME) clients with an average of 250 employees per company.By investing in Kettle now, you get to participate in the upside alongside VCs, financial institutions, professional investors and recognized industry leaders.We project that Kettle will reach 30K daily active users within 2 years, putting us on track to hit a $2M ARR run rate in 24 months.Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.The future of work is here and it’s hybrid. NOW is the time to invest. This opportunity is unprecedented: 9 out of 10 companies are already changing the way they work and 9-to-5s in the office every single day are gone forever. Join us in our cause of making sure that our time together (either with loved ones or colleagues) truly counts.","quick_facts":["🏆 World-class leadership team from WeWork, Wayfair, \u0026amp; Intuit","🚀 CEO has led companies to generate $70M+ in revenue \u0026amp;

We have not restructured the business, but we have gone through a massive pivot as the result of Covid. The ARR we are referencing is only associated with signed deals related to our SaaS model - which launched in late Q4 of 2021."},{"question":"I like the profile for this investment.

For context, we were founded in 2016 as “KettleSpace” \u0026amp; we were pursuing a related, but completely different business model (we were a consumer-facing innovative co-working company partnering with restaurants \u0026amp; hotels that had under-utilized space \u0026amp; converting it into drop in workspace).

We think calendars \u0026amp; conferencing tools are great (we are integrated with the leading platforms for both) but they do have significant limitations in the hybrid world. For starters, every interaction has to be a meeting! There’s no room for anything other than grabbing a chunk of time. Additionally, that’s the end of a journey.

Desk booking platforms like Envoy \u0026amp; Robin are our closest competitor set. Our key points of differentiation are that we believe successfully solving hybrid work is more about people getting together with the people they care about for the activities that are best done in person (vs. simply booking desks \u0026amp; rooms). 2.
