Chicago-based Cohesion, an early-stage smart building software as a service company, has raised $6.5 million in seed funding to invest in its platform which will ultimately help building owners and operators prepare for a post-COVID-19 world when employees return to the office.
"COVID-19 has presented the commercial real estate industry with never-before-experienced pressure, forcing adaptation to reprioritized tenant needs of health and safety," Thru Shivakumar, Cohesion's CEO and co-founder, said in prepared remarks.
Shivakumar said the investments and Cohesion's technology will make it easier for building owners and operators to meet the challenges of the pandemic. The platform allows building owners and operators to predict and adapt to "their building's environment and tenants' needs."
