The First AI Talent Intelligence Platform Doubles its Valuation in six months to over $2B
Mountain View, CA June 10, 2021 Eightfold AI today announced that it has raised a $220M Series E funding round. The funds will be used to continue the rapid growth and development of Eightfold's AI-powered Talent Intelligence Platform and expand its growing partner ecosystem. Work is changing and the workforce is evolving, forcing organizations to become future-ready today. The need for personalized reskilling and upskilling programs has become one of the most critical issues facing the global workforce today, and Eightfold AI is uniquely capable of solving this issue at a global scale.
Current HR systems have failed to keep up with the pace of innovation needed to support forward-leaning businesses. The only way to solve this at scale is by building a deep understanding of all talent: the roles and skills of every employee, candidate, contractor and citizen, as demonstrated by Eightfold AI's unique Talent Intelligence Platform.
This Series E funding round is led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and also includes investors from previous rounds, including General Catalyst, Capital One Ventures, Foundation Capital, IVP and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Total funding raised to date by Eightfold AI is more than $410M, with more than $350M coming in the last several months.
Current HR systems were designed to address issues from a previous era, and they have failed to keep pace with the changing nature of work and the workforce. At Eightfold, we have an unprecedented opportunity, using AI to align the career goals of individuals while simultaneously creating better results for employers, said Ashutosh Garg, Founder & CEO at Eightfold. Transforming HR and global talent further unlocks trillions of dollars worth of human potential. SoftBank shares our bold vision, and we are excited to welcome them as our partner.
Since the announcement of Eightfold AI's Series D funding round in October of 2020, the valuation of the organization has more than doubled. This is a direct result of the significant momentum achieved by customers and partners in the public and private sector. The innovation delivered through a single Talent Intelligence Platform is the foundation for leading global organizations as they prepare for the acceleration of changes in jobs, demand of evolving skills demand and other post-pandemic shifts in the workforce.
Powered by AI and machine learning, Eightfold's platform provides global enterprises with a single solution for managing the entire talent lifecycle, including hiring, retaining, and growing a diverse global workforce, said Deep Nishar, Senior Managing Partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers. We are pleased to partner with Ashutosh and the Eightfold team to support their ambition of transforming how enterprises manage talent and how people build their careers.
Learn more about the technology revolution across the HR space during Cultivate 2021, the Eightfold Talent Summit. Registration is now open for the August 10-11 event.
