Wisq, a Redwood City, Calif.-based platform designed for the social connection needs of employees, raised $20m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Norwest Venture Partners with participation from True Ventures and Shasta Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate growth and expand its platform and team.
Founded by Jim Barnett, chief executive officer; Goutham Kurra, chief product officer; and Chih-Po Wen, chief technology officer, Wisq provides a platform that enables social connections and enhances a sense of belonging and social well-being for both virtual employees and those in physical locations, actively working to mitigate the feelings of isolation and contributing to an organization’s performance, culture and retention rates.
With smart profiles, intuitive sharing, community building and audio lounges for informal hangouts, Wisq helps organizations build work cultures. The artificial intelligence (AI) discovery platform facilitates connections and accelerates engagement for employees, creating a supportive environment across hallways and continents.
