Reflektive Raises $60 Million to Reimagine People Management
TPG Growth leads round for company powering the future of real-time performance management, talent and leadership development
SAN FRANCISCO and FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Reflektive, the real-time performance management cloud company, today announced it has raised $60 million in Series C funding. The round was led by TPG Growth, the global middle market and growth equity platform of alternative asset firm TPG. Existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed Venture Partners also participated in the round.
Reflektive will use the proceeds to invest in R&D to grow its cloud-based platform of people management solutions. Following a successful 2017, Reflektive plans to double its engineering team and expand go-to-market strategies worldwide across customer segments and industry verticals, with a relentless focus on customer success.
"We believe HR leaders should focus less on managing processes and more on strategic initiatives that affect the bottom line," said Rajeev Behera, CEO, Reflektive. "Our goal is to help companies scale best-in-class people management practices to all their leaders in order to maximize employee productivity and retention."
Reflektive offers a suite of core performance management applications for managers and employees to easily provide real-time feedback, set and manage goals, and conduct regular check-ins to improve engagement, skills development, and strategic alignment. Reflektive integrates with frequently used tools such as Slack, Gmail, and Outlook, enabling people to seamlessly incorporate feedback and goal alignment into their day-to-day workflows.
"In today's increasingly dynamic workplace, companies across sectors and around the globe are fundamentally rethinking the way they engage, develop, and retain talent," said Brian Dunlap of TPG who will join Reflektive's board of directors. "Unlike many other HR solutions built primarily for administrators, Reflektive offers companies an innovative, employee-centric people management platform that is designed to be engaging, helpful and used daily by employees, managers, and teams across organizations."
TPG Growth, which manages more than $13 billion in assets, previously invested in SuccessFactors, a performance and people management SaaS platform that later sold to SAP. TPG Growth has a history of partnering with emerging leaders across the technology sector, with investments such as Airbnb, Box, Domo, EverFi, HotSchedules, and Spotify.
