During the pandemic, having an automated solution for onboarding and updating Apple devices remotely has been essential, and today Kandji<\/a>, a startup that helps IT do just that, announced a hefty $60 million Series B investment.<\/p>\n

Felicis Ventures led the round, with participation from SVB Capital, Greycroft, Okta Ventures and The Spruce House Partnership. Today\u2019s round comes just seven months after a $21 million Series A<\/a>, bringing the total raised across three rounds to $88.5 million, according to the company.<\/p>\n

CEO Adam Pettit says the company has been growing in leaps and bounds since the funding round last October.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a lot more traction than even originally anticipated. I think every time we\u2019ve put targets up onto the board of how quickly we would grow, we\u2019ve accelerated past them,\u201d he said. He said that one of the primary reasons for this growth has been the rapid move to work from home during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working with customers across 40+ industries now, and we\u2019re even seeing international customers come in and purchase so everyone now is just looking to support remote workforces and we provide a really elegant way for them to do that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While Pettit didn\u2019t want to discuss exact revenue numbers, he did say that it has tripled since the Series A announcement. That is being fueled, in part, he says, by attracting larger companies, and he says they have been seeing more and more of them become customers this year.<\/p>\n

As they\u2019ve grown revenue and added customers, they\u2019ve also brought on new employees, growing from 40 to 100 since October. Pettit says that the startup is committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture at the company and a big part of that is making sure you have a diverse pool of candidates from which to choose.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt comes down to at the onset just making the decision that it\u2019s important to you and it\u2019s important to the company, which we\u2019ve done. Then you take it step by step all the way through, and we start at the back into the funnel where our candidates are coming from.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means clearly telling their recruiting partners that they want a diverse candidate pool. One way to do that is being remote and having a broader talent pool with which to work. \u201cWe realized that in order to hold true to [our commitment], it was going to be really hard to do that just sticking to the core market of San Diego or San Francisco, and so now we\u2019ve expanded nationally and this has opened up a lot of [new] pools of top tech talent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Pettit is thinking hard right now about how the startup will run its offices whenever they are allowed back, especially with some employees living outside major tech hubs. Clearly it will have some remote component, but he says that the tricky part of that will be making sure that the folks who aren\u2019t coming into the office still feel fully engaged and part of the team.<\/p>\n
