Company mission

Dala's mission is to make work more coherent and delightful—reframing productivity from doing more to being better.

Our take

Knowledge sharing between employees is an increasing challenge for companies, particularly as they begin to juggle remote, office-based and hybrid teams. Furthermore, traditional approaches to this are not fit for purpose, with many relying on complex databases to store information that isn't readily accessible.

Dala aims to change this with its contextual search tool to unify company knowledge. By integrating with a company's workplace applications, employees will be able to simultaneously search across their knowledge silos to surface contextually relevant information for the work they're trying to do.

Though Dala is currently raising its pre-seed funding, its AI-powered technology and experienced team will position it well to tackle the challenges of knowledge sharing across new hybrid or remote team dynamics brought about in recent years.

Haroun Hickman (Co-founder & CEO)

  • Founders are British/Pakistani and Singaporean respectively. We continually welcome strong opinions from candidates and team members on how we can be better at building a diverse and inclusive environment!
  • Dala's success will lean heavily on crafting a diverse team that is reflective of the audience that we're building for. We've experienced the immense value of inclusive workplaces ourselves and feel a responsibility as founders to get this right from day one.
  • We are actively trying to make Dala a workplace where people of any age, sex, ability, sexual orientation, race, religion, or belief are fairly represented and fiercely supported to do their best work.
