"HR teams are stuck in a cycle of manual admin and legacy tools are failing them. They are forced to choose between clunky ticketing systems that employees hate, or basic chatbots that can’t actually get work done. We built Kinfolk to break this cycle. By shifting from manual coordination to autonomous execution, we let HR teams scale their operations and focus on the strategic work that actually drives company growth. We’re excited to give People teams the operating system they deserve, one that actually performs work instead of just managing it."
The seed round was co-led by PROfounders and Revent with participation from Northzone and Nomad Capital.
"Breakroom’s mission is to make every job a good job. Most people don’t work from offices: they’re on the frontline, working shifts and many of them are paid by the hour. The pandemic has shown that there are too many jobs that are undervalued and need to improve. The recent labour shortages in sectors like logistics and hospitality show that now is a great time to make sure that things are different in the future. Breakroom will help workers find the best job for them and help employers compete on the quality of the jobs they offer."
The seed round was led by PROfounders Capital to support product development and team expansion.
"We’re now seeing a huge rise in demand for preventative mental health solutions, especially as work from home isolation becomes the norm, and we’re drawing a lot of parallels with what happened in the digital fitness market. We’re excited to have the minds behind some of the biggest consumer and media businesses in the world helping us build the next big consumer brand in the mental health space. Our mission remains unchanged: we want to make the world a happier place by making looking after your mental health as normal as going to the gym."
