You can’t build one company culture for engineers & another for office cleaners

Stay objective Hunter, stay objective.

I CAN’T STAY OBJECTIVE ON THIS ONE, I F’IN LOVE MANAGEDBYQ!

Ok, now that I got that out of the ole’ system, it was great to see ManagedByQ launch in SF this past week (previously just CHI, NYC) and announce a strong $15m Series A by Steve Schlafman at RRE. We put a short note on the Homebrew blog.

What is Q?

Q combines people, process and technology to deliver the operating system for physical office space. Via an iPad installed in your office, Q centralizes stellar office cleaning and other smart services to help office operations run smoothly. Hundreds of offices in New York, Chicago, and as of today, San Francisco, are using Q to clean and manage their offices efficiently and cost effectively.

There are a whole bunch of reasons for me to love Q from a business standpoint. Their growth numbers are great great great. It was a nice writeup of our seed investment. Yadda yadda.

But what gets me so excited about Q is the way they’re building this business to be amazing for both customers and employees, especially their Field Operators, the office cleaners and maintenance workers who are used to being nameless, faceless.
