Managed by Q is an office management platform company based out of New York City. The company was founded in 2014 by CEO Dan Teran as a management platform including vendors for cleaning and maintenance services.[1][2] In 2017 the company launched their marketplace which expanded their services to include IT support, inventory management, administrative staffing, and security.[3]
Managed by Q operates out of New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Boston.[4]
History
Managed by Q launched out of beta in New York City in 2015, expanding to Chicago.[5] Later in 2015, the company raised $15 million in Series A funding and expanded to San Francisco.[6] The round was led by RRE Ventures; other investors included entrepreneurs Gary Vaynerchuk and Fabrice Grinda, American actress Jessica Alba, and former NBA commissioner David Stern.[7]
In 2016, the company raised $25 million in funding.[4] Investors included Google Ventures (GV) and Kapor Capital. Following another fundraising round that increased to $30 million, M. G. Siegler of GV joined Managed by Q's board.[4] Later in 2016, the company partnered with office supply retailer Staples Inc.[8] Also that year, the company expanded to Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.[9]
MIT Sloan conducted a case study in 2016 on Managed by Q's growth strategies.[10] The study identified growth strategies employed by the company that were comparable to elements in "The Good Jobs Strategy", a book written by MIT Adjuct Associate Professor Zeynep Ton.[10] The book's thesis argues that "when a company deploys its workforce in smart ways, its workers can be a driver of profit rather than a driver of cost."[10]
In 2017, Managed by Q launched a marketplace platform accessible by customers and workers which expanded their services to include IT support, inventory management, administrative staffing, and security, along with standard cleaning and maintenance.[3]
In 2018, Managed by Q launched in Boston.[11]
In January 2019, Managed by Q announced they had raised an additional $55 million as part of their Series C funding round.[1][12] Investors included GV once again as well as RRE.
