Company mission
To make 2.5 billion front line employees happier at work, by building an AI powered recommendation engine for people management
Our take
Improving productivity for front-line workers in industries like hospitality, healthcare and retail, Youda has built a "CRM for People Teams". Its AI co-pilot automates and personalizes HR processes for customer-facing employees, saving them time on repetitive and automatable tasks.
Youda's platform doubles as a "recommendation engine for people management", collecting and analysing customer data to predict their needs and behaviours. This is an invaluable tool for presenting to shareholders, providing clear data and evidencing trends to help companies make key strategic decisions.
With successful pre-seed funding behind it, Youda might be in its early days but has attracted high-end customers such as Dishoom, JKS Restaurants and the Ottolenghi Group. At this stage, Youda is focused on company growth.

We're a small team with a big mission. This means we're constantly working outside of our comfort zones. We're working on redefining the employee experience for people who don't work at desks. How do we give a great onboarding dependant on experience? How often should we be asking for feedback? Should we allow people to resign with no friction? These are just some of the questions we work on every day.

There's no point working in this team if you aren't a self-starter. We all work hard to deliver the best functionality for our customers, quickly. We can't do that without high levels of trust and autonomy. There are three of us right now, and we're highly collaborative when we are together but get on with what needs doing when we're apart.

I honestly feel inspired every day I get to see my colleagues. But we're all intelligent in different ways. We're solving tough people problems with technology. So trying to marry those two needs a lot of thought to get right.
