About Seam

Seam builds the infrastructure that connects software to the physical world through smart device connections. Seam allows software companies to orchestrate operations in physical spaces through everyday experiences like unlocking doors, managing climate, and monitoring properties from anywhere around the globe.

Our customers include property software companies that manage hotels, short-term rentals, apartment buildings, commercial offices, gyms, and co-working spaces. If you’ve ever checked into an Airbnb with a pin code, you’ve probably used Seam without realizing it.

Rather than integrate with every smart device manufacturer in their market, these software companies can complete one integration with Seam to connect to any smart lock, thermostat, or sensor. We also provide all of the UI they need to connect, organize, and manage these devices inside their apps.

Seam is backed by Tiger Global, Root Ventures, YC, founders from WhatsApp, Flexport, and execs at Stripe, Plaid, Fastly, and Airbnb, and many more.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
