Don't do it

Rather than answer from a poll perspective (which doesn't work well with StackExchange), here are some design considerations related to your decision:

  • Your company brand/name is communicative because, in plain English, it communicates what the company does. By removing the spaces you are reducing the readability of the name, which makes it less communicative. Doing this for the sake of appearing modern is probably a violation of design priorities for most small/medium sized companies because it's typically more important for a company name to communicate clearly what a company does than for it to be eye catching.

  • Companies that have less communicative names such as PerkinsElmer and StatusCake have the opposite problem: by placing spaces their name, customers are more likely to perceive them as words, which can actually increase confusion because the words don't mean anything. By removing the spaces, the brand can become more communicative because it makes it clearer to customers that the words aren't there to communicate meaning.

You have a nice company name. It uses three monosyllabic words (easy to say), it's communicate (represents the company well) and imperative (i.e. it's dynamic/action oriented). On top of that, it's memorable. Those are all positive things for a brand.

If you want to be perceived as more modern, use color (my preference here for various reasons), font, or a logo to accomplish this...don't remove the spaces.
