It works with potential tenants to understand its brand values and designs a space that suits them. It then takes care of construction and kits the space out. With the rise of remote work, office space is now seen as a strategic decision, Coulson said. "A lot of it is around talent and the brand manifesting in the work that's happening. They are heavily, heavily branded spaces with very, very few desks. You walk in and you're in another world," he said. It helps them do deals and retain and attract the best staff, he added. The startup also manages the space and offers IT support – so hopefully no one is left with a leaky AC unit like he previously was. The fresh cash, which brings the company's total raised to $10 million, will be used to enter the New York market. Coulson has moved to the city and will grow a Stateside team of up to 10. Kitt's overall headcount is currently 75. New York is a particularly attractive opportunity because there is a greater resistance to returning to the office, rents are high, and there just aren't enough good spaces, Coulson said. He hopes to change that. Kitt is asset-light, meaning in London its customers pay for the office refit and furniture. New York has a slightly different model, Coulson said, and Kitt is willing to take on the "furniture risk." Coulson expects the UK side of the company to be profitable next year. The startup opted for a seed extension rather than a Series A due to its stage; it's still generating proof points around scaling in different markets, Coulson said.
