To date Unomy has raised $2.4 million from Leta Capital, Altair Capital, JANVEST Capital Partners and various angel investors. Unomy's 20 employees will join WeWork's development center in Tel Aviv, which is headed by Ron Gura. WeWork eventually plans ending Unomy's support for external customers and will attempt to transfer them to similar products. The acquisition will especially assist WeWork in business customer service and selling work space in the enterprise sector, which represents 30% of its operations. Persuading a company with thousands of employees to commit to let staff join a co-working space is a major challenge in which Unomy's platform will be of enormous assistance.
