WorkPatterns, a startup that offers software to standardize remote management strategies, raised $2.8 million in seed funding led by Javelin Venture Partners and Founders Fund. WorkPatterns cofounder and CEO Adam Berke told Business Insider that he had seen the challenges new managers faced as startups grow from small teams to massive companies after his own experience as a founding employee of NextRoll. The round closed prior to the remote work boom prompted by widespread shutdowns during the coronavirus pandemic, but new working conditions have helped WorkPatterns gain adoption that would've otherwise taken years, Berke said.
