Draper Esprit leads CoachHub’s $30m round
Draper Esprit is pleased to have led the $30m investment round in digital coaching platform CoachHub. The round was also joined by existing investors HV Capital, Partech, Speedinvest, signals Venture Capital and RTP Global.
CoachHub allows companies to invite employees to join the digital coaching platform, where an AI-based matching system recommends three business coaches who meet the individual requirements of the employee. Both the coach and coachee can communicate via the app, where calls typically take place bi-weekly and e-learning assignments are available to further personal development. The platform has a variety of clients ranging from large corporations such as Generali and Bosch Rexroth, to startups like SoundCloud and HelloFresh.
