Envoy is a San Francisco–based workplace management platform founded in 2013 by Larry Gadea, a former Google and Twitter engineer.

Today, Envoy supports more than 16,000 workplaces worldwide and reached unicorn status in 2022 following a $111 million Series C round, valuing the company at $1.4 billion.
