Seattle-based medical supply marketplace Bttn has moved into a new 36,900-square-foot office in Uptown.
The startup's move to 400 Second Ave. W last July was first noted in a fourth-quarter report from the British real estate services company Savills. Bttn co-founder and CEO JT Garwood told the Business Journal the open-concept office was meant to focus on collaboration and innovation.
"The space was an upgrade from our first 3,000-square-foot office in Fremont," Garwood said in the emailed statement. "In 2023, we will continue to scale the company for growth and expand offerings for customers.”
Bttn, pronounced button, offers a marketplace for medical professionals to search and order medical supplies online. Users can purchase supplies like Covid-19 tests, wound care supplies and IV supplies. The startup, founded in 2021, has engineering roles listed on its website currently. Bttn makes money through margins on the products sold through its marketplace.
Bttn raised a $20 million Series A round in June. Tiger Global Management led the round, and Bellevue-based Fuse participated. At the time of the Series A, Garwood said Bttn was looking for new office space to house its growing team.
"Most of our employees live in the Queen Anne, Ballard, Fremont circle, so we're prioritizing the search there," Garwood said at the time. "We're really firm believers in making the office as accessible as possible to our employees. As we expand, obviously that's going to get harder and harder."
The Savills report also noted leasing activity in the Seattle area was 1 million square feet in the fourth quarter, down from 1.9 million square feet in the previous quarter and 1.6 million square feet during the fourth quarter of 2021.
