Employee experience platform raises $2M

摘要

Excellent, the New Zealand-founded platform spearheading the employee experience movement through learning, community and accreditation, raised $2 million in its pre-seed round to further its expansion. Led by venture capital investor Blackbird, the raise also included notable support from Icehouse Ventures, K1W1 and a number of leading founders and business leaders including Brooke and Leighton Roberts, co-founders and co-CEOs of Sharesies, and Justine Smyth, chair at Spark NZ. Excellent's purpose is to help business leaders and people managers come together with their employees to redefine what a modern workplace looks like, through the emerging discipline of employee experience (EX) design. The company is making it easy for organisations and leaders to co-design experiences with employees, as a community-led platform providing world-class learning and co-design tools tested in real businesses, as well as an accreditation pathway and networking opportunities.
