Our take

Company intranets have existed for as long as the internet has, yet these virtual environments remain clunky, generalized and over-saturated with unnecessary features.

Simpplr develops purpose-built intranet systems that aim to provide simple communication within a workforce. The startup's intranet system stands out by using AI to analyze the activities of a digital workforce, using this information to offer a wide range of services. This includes the alerting of employees to critical top-down communications, keeping them socially connected and helping them find the documents that they are looking for.

Simpplr won the award for "best mid-size company to work" from Built In 2023, signifying a US workplace culture that goes above and beyond. It also saw a refreshing of its leadership team in 2022, adding industry leader Parag Kulkarni as CTO and former CMO of award-winning Netbase Quid, Paige Leidig, as its Chief Marketing Officer. These updates indicate a company that keeps its employees happy and constantly looks for new directions to take its product.
