Workplace Search Startup Capacity Raises $13.2M to Tame Corporate Data
St. Louis-based startup Capacity secures $13.2 million in Series B funding to expand its workplace digital assistant platform. The company aims to solve enterprise information scatter by centralizing corporate data into a searchable chat interface.
Capacity, a St. Louis-based startup formerly known as Jane.ai, raises $13.2 million in a Series B round funded entirely by Midwestern investors and angels. The company focuses on solving the widespread problem of information scatter within enterprises by pulling organizational data into a single, accessible platform. Employees interact with this centralized hub through a chat interface and directory to quickly find the information they need.
Alongside its recent rebranding, Capacity opens its developer platform to third-party creators. CEO David Karandish explains that the startup realizes it cannot build every tailored app itself, so allowing external developers to connect apps to the network proves crucial for expanding the system's integration capabilities. This flexibility also extends to how the platform answers questions and when it routes complex inquiries to actual human employees.
While automated chatbots do not serve as perfect solutions for every corporate challenge, they effectively address a clear pain point for companies. By crawling through disparate documents and extracting key context, Capacity helps businesses make sense of scattered internal knowledge without requiring a complete overhaul of their existing workflows.
