Coworked, an enterprise AI startup developing AI-powered project management solutions, announced a $1.8 million funding round co-led by Open Opportunity Fund and Two Ravens, with participation from Underdog Labs and Techstars. The investment will support the expansion of Coworked Harmony, the company’s agentic AI project manager designed to automate enterprise coordination workflows.
Addressing Enterprise Project Management Challenges
Enterprise PMOs and transformation teams continue to face growing operational pressure as demand for project managers increases globally. According to the Project Management Institute, the industry will require 25 million additional project managers by 2030. Coworked positions Harmony as a solution to close that workforce gap by automating repetitive coordination and administrative tasks.
Harmony is designed to handle timeline management, follow-through, reporting, risk tracking, and meeting coordination while operating directly inside existing enterprise systems. The platform integrates with tools including Microsoft Project & Planner, Atlassian Jira, Smartsheet, ServiceNow, Salesforce, and NH360.
AI-Powered Coordination Across Enterprise Systems
Unlike traditional project management software, Harmony functions as an AI coworker operating through communication channels and enterprise workflows already used by organizations, including email, chat, voice, and portfolio management systems. The platform continuously builds organizational context across teams and stakeholders to support project execution more effectively.
“Project managers should be spending more time on leadership, judgment, and stakeholder alignment, not chasing updates or keeping logs current,” said Shawn Harris, PMP, CEO and Co-Founder of Coworked. “Harmony handles the execution grind so PMs can focus on strategy and stakeholders. We built this because we lived it while working in Fortune 500 enterprises. We knew exactly where the work breaks down.”
Investor Support For Agentic AI In Enterprises
Investors highlighted the growing role of AI agents in addressing enterprise talent shortages and operational inefficiencies.
“Agentic AI has the ability to fill critical talent gaps by adding AI workers into an enterprise. Project management is one of the clearest examples of where this shift will happen: work that has historically required human coordination, follow-through, and judgment can now be done by AI agents,” said Paul Judge, Chairman and Managing Partner at Open Opportunity Fund. “Coworked's team brings the subject matter expertise in enterprise project management to understand the workflows and organizational dynamics needed to build a solution that works inside large organizations.”
Expansion Plans
Coworked was founded by Shawn Harris, Ravi Linganuri, and Dr. Sulak Soysa, whose backgrounds include leadership roles at IBM, Dell, Target, and Deloitte. The company holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications.
The new funding will be used to expand engineering and deployment teams, strengthen integrations with enterprise platforms, and scale go-to-market operations.
