The service is available for free, and in the future, the start-up will add more capabilities that users can pay for. Woven is "a platform on which you can first build a time-management app, but down the road, build more apps and make people more productive," Thakker said.Ĭampos said the company plans to target small businesses and freelancers as its launch audience and grow from there. In the future, the start-up plans to use that engine to build out more apps and features, such as time management analytics tools, said Dharmesh Thakker, general partner at Battery Ventures, which led a $4.8 million seed funding round for Woven alongside Amplify Partners, Felicis Ventures and individual investors. Woven uses the data it pulls to create a "graph engine" that's the underlying technology of the company, Arpat said. "That allows us to ensure that people are focusing on the meat of the meeting as opposed to the logistics." "We treat calendars like an app that people are collaborating on," said Burc Arpat, a former engineering manager at Facebook who co-founded Woven and is its chief technology officer. It then uses that data to recommend optimal times and travel times between locations as users schedule meetings. Woven plugs into users' email and calendar apps to analyze their schedules, locations, commute times and meeting habits.
That start-up and service, called Woven, launched Thursday. In late 2016, Campos left Facebook to build something similar that could be used by anyone.
