What is Leapsome?
Leapsome is the all-in-one platform for People Enablement. We combine tools for goals & OKR management, performance reviews and 360s, employee engagement surveys, continuous feedback, team and 1:1 meetings, and fair compensation and promotion management into an easy-to-use, customizable platform.
At Leapsome, we want work to be the best it can be for everyone. That’s why we help companies create environments where people can achieve goals, learn and grow together, and build authentic relationships — our purpose is to make work fulfilling for everyone!
CEOs and HR/People Operations teams in international, forward-thinking companies like Spotify, monday.com, Unity, Workato, Bolt, and Northvolt choose Leapsome to drive employee development, productivity, and engagement. Forbes magazine listed Leapsome as one of the 100 most innovative startups in Germany and G2 as the #2 Software Company in Germany.
After successfully bootstrapping to more than 1,500 customers, Leapsome raised US$60 million in Series A Funding led by Insight Partners in March 2022. The funding allows us to further invest in developing our intelligent people enablement platform, create an even stronger employee experience, and expand in the US market - which we did in November 2022. It is a very exciting time to join Leapsome!
