Deskbird is a Swiss-based developer of workplace management SaaS, launched in 2020 by Ivan Cossu and Jonas Hess. It offers an on-demand platform to manage hybrid office environments, enabling users to book desks, meeting rooms, parking, and visitor access—supporting more efficient, collaborative, and cost-effective workspaces. Headquartered in Pfäffikon (SZ), Switzerland, Deskbird serves a global audience of over 10,000 offices with approximately 250,000 users.
Deskbird was founded during the 2020 pandemic, originally aimed at coworking space booking. However, the founders quickly pivoted to enterprise solutions for hybrid-office management—recognizing the growing demand in this space. The company scaled rapidly, adding over 10,000 office clients and 250,000 users while achieving an employee growth rate from under 100 to over 200 in recent years.
Deskbird has raised a total of $44 million via six funding rounds. Notable funding milestones include:
Series A (Sept 2023): $13 M led by AXA Venture Partners, PortfoLion, Alstin Capital, Session, and others.
Deskbird delivers an all-in-one hybrid workplace platform that includes:
Deskbird’s significant product leap stems from its 2025 Series B funding; while no formal acquisitions were noted, the company heavily invested in AI-powered analytics and intelligence. The Series B capital is earmarked primarily for expanding AI workplace intelligence features, enhancing enterprise system integrations, and scaling market presence in the UK and wider Europe.
Recent developments include upgraded Kiosk Mode, enhanced room check-in systems, newly launched API endpoints, and full rollout of the AI-based forecasting models—all revealing Deskbird’s trajectory toward an intelligent, adaptive workplace ecosystem.
Employee reviews (e.g., Glassdoor) reflect a strong “family culture” with emphasis on open idea-sharing, risk-taking, and continuous learning. There’s a pronounced focus on professional development, peer feedback, and modern workflows using tools like Slack and ClickUp. The company promotes flexibility and team bonding through remote-friendly social activities.
Trusted by more than 10,000 offices and 250,000 users, Deskbird has attracted notable clients such as Samsung, Deloitte, Philips, Airbus, AON, UNICEF, and Vitra. Its community-driven approach is visible in customer success stories and a modular ecosystem adopted across diverse industries. Regions served include Switzerland, broader Europe, and expansion is underway in the UK and potentially beyond.
