Our take
With major clients including the United Nations, Howspace is a platform for companies who want to develop more digital engagement with their employees, especially in the remote and hybrid working world. With tools that help with company learning and education into its values and mission, change management, and strategic planning, Howspace unifies what is often a collection of unconnected tools.
As a more formalised and focused version of Slack, Howspace distinguishes itself in a crowded remote work tool marketplace with the use of background AI, helping to scale and facilitate remote interactions. Its various uses also help with employee onboarding and learning sessions, bringing a sense of unity to the remote work world.
Howspace was an early proponent of remote work culture and continues to release new products such as Steps, in 2022 a decision democratisation feature. Its founding dates back to 2008 so it’s no wonder that it took nine years to reach seed funding. As technology has caught up with its aspirations, Howspace received a total sum of $16.5 million between 2017 and 2021, when the remote work boom really took off.
