“Since our 2015 launch, we’ve been able to leverage modest financial investments into sustainable business wins. This is, by far, our most substantial fundraise, and we are well-positioned to use it for our most explosive growth to date,” said Max Farrell, WorkHound CEO. “The timing is perfect to partner with Level Equity. We have a proven business model, our current clients in the trucking industry are using our technology to build stronger, revenue-boosting feedback loops, and businesses in almost every supply chain market are craving the benefits WorkHound can help deliver.”
The fundraising round was backed by Level Equity, a growth equity firm that invests globally in outstanding middle market software and tech-enabled businesses.

WorkHound was founded in 2015 by Max Farrell and Andrew Kirpalani in Des Moines, Iowa, before adding a second headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Today, WorkHound boasts a national footprint, powered by a fully remote team.
How WorkHound works: The WorkHound platform enables employers to receive instant and anonymous workforce feedback so management can address those matters as part of their employee retention efforts. Initially, the company focused on the trucking space since driver turnover is a significant pain point experienced across that entire industry. As employee retention needs have spread into additional supply chain markets, WorkHound’s platform and data-backed insights are being sought out on a far larger scale.
