Workbox, a Chicago, IL-based specialized flexible office operator, launched Workbox Ventures, a new venture capital arm focused on the Future of Work.
Workbox Ventures will be led by Phillip Leslie, who has joined the firm as Managing Partner.
Workbox Ventures seeks to invest around three broad areas:
- HR Technology: ventures that address make-or-break challenges in how companies empower distributed teams to build trust, share experiences, learn, and perform.
- Financial Technology: ventures that address the interplay between strategy and financial performance in teams, requiring new approaches to collaboration.
- Property Technology: ventures that turn flex work, coworking, and hybrid work into a competitive advantage.
Prior to Workbox Ventures, Leslie’s career spanned corporate, startup, and investing worlds, with time spent leading technology teams at Microsoft, growing and selling ventures in the HR Technology and Financial Technology spaces – including ProOnGo and InterviewStream – and investing in ventures as a Managing Director at TechNexus.
