Company mission

Bravely is making life at work better for everyone.

26% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

In recent years, employee confidence in HR has declined considerably, which can have profound consequences for individuals and companies alike. Bravely solves this problem by offering decentralized and confidential employee coaching and support.

Bravely's app gives employees access to a range of vetted life and executive coaches outside of their company's structure. This promotes transparency, engagement and satisfaction among teams, which has proven to be a big draw for organizations such as Zillow, Autodesk and the New York Times. The calibre of Bravely's client list is further proof of its value and reputation.

The company's biggest challenge will be competing with other support providers, including non-profits such as Empower Work. However, unlike many of its rivals, Bravely boasts the infrastructure to target mid-to-large-scale companies. This will be a crucial advantage in the years to come.
