LiquidSpace, a US-based application that connects people seeking workspace with employers who have empty desks, has extended its series B round by $1.3m from office furniture maker Steelcase and property developer CBRE Group.
Sara Armbruster, vice-president of corporate strategy and workspace futures at Steelcase, said: “Many of our biggest customers are undertaking a real estate transformation and our investment in LiquidSpace reflects how critically important alternate space is to enable this change.”
LiquidSpace’s total funding to date is about $13m. In January, LiquidSpace raised $6m in its series B round.
GPT Group, an Australia-listed property company, led the B round as a new investor and was joined by venture capital firms Shasta Ventures, Floodgate and Greylock Partners.
Prior to the B round, LiquidSpace raised $1.3m in a seed round led by Reid Hoffman of the Greylock Discovery Fund and Mike Maples of FloodGate, followed in May 2011 by a $3.785m A round led by Shasta Ventures.
