What KODE Labs does

KODE Labs is a Detroit-based software company that builds KODE OS, a vendor-agnostic, cloud-based smart building operating system designed to unify data from disparate building systems into a single operational layer. Founded in 2017 and incorporated in Delaware as KODE Labs, Inc., the platform integrates building management systems (HVAC, lighting, access control, fire, elevators, EV charging, meters, occupancy sensors) across more than 150 pre-built API connectors, normalizing the data through a proprietary ontology and exposing it through modules including Cloud BMS, Building BI, Digital Maintenance, Building Data Hub, IoT Platform, KODE Mobile (Flutter-based iOS/Android), the AI-Driven Portfolio Operations suite (KAI Assistant, Agent Builder, generative-AI FDD), and the EnerG AI-powered utility/ESG management module. KODE reports 7,000+ buildings online across 150+ enterprise customers with stated zero churn.

KODE Labs sells KODE OS as enterprise SaaS on a quote-based, per-building or per-portfolio subscription model, targeting commercial real estate owners and operators, corporate real estate teams, retail chains, healthcare systems, and educational institutions. Named enterprise customers include Empire State Realty Trust (Empire State Building), QuadReal, Bedrock, Hines, Oxford Properties, Stream Realty, Kennedy Wilson, TJX Companies (4,800 stores), Ford, Rocket Companies, Goldman Sachs, and WWE. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (with 'Request a demo' funnel) and channel partners — most notably OTI, which resells KODE OS to a client base covering more than 180 million square feet following OTI's sale of its Buildings IOT platform to Infogrid. The company also reaches public-sector buyers through EY Canada's smart building framework recommendation and the built-world PR firm Bloxspring.

The company has raised approximately $38 million in venture funding across two rounds: an $8 million Series A in 2022 led by I Squared Capital, and a $30 million Series B in April 2024 led by Maverix Private Equity with participation from TELUS Ventures and I Squared Capital. Founders Gentrit Gojani (CTO), Edi Demaj, and Etrit Demaj continue to lead the company alongside CFO Mark Lewandowski and SVP of Global Sales Ben Dwyer. KODE holds SOC 2 Type I certification and pursues ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance, supporting enterprise procurement requirements across its North American, UK, Irish, and Australian deployments.
