WorkChew: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

WorkChew is a marketplace that connects remote workers to the safe, productive coworking space in worker-friendly restaurants. It is focused on the B2B side of the business, signing up enterprises looking for flexible work options for their remote employees. The company also has a self-serve option, where remote workers can sign in, see the space options and all the amenities offered near their locations, and book a seat for up to four hours. For hotels on the WorkChew platform, users can also book a conference room or guest room. Restaurants and hotels on the WorkChew platform keep 100 percent of any money they make on food or beverage sales. With hotels, WorkChew makes a commission off conference room bookings, but the hotels keep everything they make off everything else. Co-founders Maisha Burt and Allyson McDougal established the company in Washington, District of Columbia in 2018.

About FundedIQ's WorkChew Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for WorkChew is left off this page rather than filled in.
