Connecteam Raises $37 Million to Accelerate Growth & Expansion of its all-in-one App for Deskless Employees
Connecteam, an all-in-one employee app that empowers organizations with non-desk employees to communicate, engage, and operate their teams, has announced the closing of a $37M funding round led by Insight Partners, OG tech, and Wix’s leadership team.
Founded in 2016, Connecteam’s 10,000-plus global customers span 60 countries and include leading brands such as Nike, Sodexo, SodaStream, ISS, and Plasson.
“We have built the platform from the ground up to meet the needs of organizations with frontline employees. Most people don’t realize it, but deskless employees comprise 80% of the global workforce – 2.7B employees around the world,” said Amir Nehemia, Co-Founder and CEO of Connecteam. “So many organizations still rely on bulletin boards, phone calls, printed spreadsheets, and face-to-face training to run their businesses. We have plans to change that and help organizations and their employees improve communication, work processes, and collaboration.”

During 2020, the company saw massive customer growth of more than 400% and now has over 150,000 active users. The company grew its team by 300% to meet the rising demand, to better connect teams, and improve operational efficiency.
Avishai Abrahami, Wix’s CEO and an early-stage investor at Connecteam said, “Like Wix, Connecteam is a great product-led company that doesn’t just focus on the problem it solves, but also on the people behind it. I am not surprised to see its accelerated growth: it has the right mindset, an outstanding product, and a vast market that is pro-actively looking to do things differently as they are tired of the old ways. I believe we are going to hear much about Connecteam in the future.”

In just a few minutes, companies can communicate digitally with their team and better manage their workforce, allowing them to operate more efficiently.
