Workshop, a platform for sharing and finding important internal information, has raised a $3.5 million seed round.
The round included a group of prominent Midwest venture funds and angel investors, including Ludlow Ventures, M25, and Linseed Capital.
The startup also announced their founding team, which includes Dusty Davidson and Rick Knudtson (former founders of Flywheel) and Ben Stevinson and Derek Homann (former founders of Median).
“We’ve learned over the years, that one of the most important – if not the most important – factor in a teams’ engagement, alignment, and productivity is understanding and having access to company strategy, updates, and more,” said CEO and co-founder Dusty Davidson. “And increasingly, all of those vitally important bits get drowned out in a sea of chats and emails.”
“All too often teams are using ad-hoc tools to accomplish internal communication, and I think we have an opportunity to build a best-in-class tool that simultaneously delights teams and keeps them aligned and engaged,” said Chief Product Officer and co-founder Rick Knudtson.
Workshop has also announced the official launch of their new employee communications platform, which includes a streamlined way to share important internal updates, as well as an option for an all-company hub.
