Human resources is generally a salient cornerstone of any organization, but digitization has democratized a lot of the work that goes into HR, and that\u2019s meant more people in businesses interested in, and using, the kind of data that HR people build and typically manage. Today, a startup called ChartHop<\/a> that\u2019s built a platform to cater to that trend is announcing $35 million in funding on the heels of strong growth.<\/p>\n

The Series B is being led by Andreessen Horowitz, a past backer, with Elad Gil and previous investors Cowboy Ventures and SemperVirens also participating. We understand from sources close to the company that the round values ChartHop at between $300 million and $400 million.<\/p>\n

ChartHop was founded in New York by Ian White, now the CEO, who first started building the tools to fill what he felt were gaps in his own knowledge when he founded, ran and eventually sold his previous company, Sailthru (which was acquired by CampaignMonitor<\/a>).<\/p>\n

He said he realized the company could build \u201call the tech we wanted,\u201d but when it came down to thinking about how to run and scale the business, that was at its heart actually a people question, and also understanding how departments, and the entire organization, looked and worked as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not as important as hiring, structuring a \u2018single you\u2019 of the organization,\u201d he said. (Ian\u2019s pictured here to the right.) Similar to the great analytics tools that have been built for developers, sales teams and others, \u201cWhat I wanted was people analytics,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanted to understand my team.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s actually a very multifaceted question. It\u2019s not just a matter of an org chart \u2014 a big enough task in its own right that the very day that ChartHop came out of stealth in early 2020<\/a>, another org chart startup, The Org, launched, too<\/a>. It\u2019s also retention strategy, employee satisfaction, turnover statistics, diversity statistics, predictive visualizations on finances if one area was compensated differently, or if hiring were frozen, etc. \u201cAll of those problems became mine and there was no great software out there to solve for it,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n

The ChartHop platform is built like all strong structures these days in the world of tech: tons of integrations to feed data into ChartHop to make it richer; tons of integrations also to export and use that data in more dedicated applications when needed; and an easy way for everyone to update data but also put in place easy and strong protections to keep confidential data as it should be.<\/p>\n

And while HR still \u201cowns\u201d the platform, White said, it can be accessed and used by anyone in the organization, and it is.<\/p>\n

It seems that others have found the talent management software market lacking for it, too. Since 2019 it went from a team of one \u2014 White himself \u2014 to 75, with 130 corporates now using its services. The list has a strong list of household company names with a heavy emphasis in tech, from what White showed me. Revenues in the last 12 months \u2014 a time when the spread-out nature of many of our workplaces has meant an even greater need for a platform to manage all the information has possibly reached a high water mark \u2014 have grown at a rate of 17% month-by-month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith HR and people functions so crucial to the growth and success of businesses, it\u2019s unfortunate that most HR teams lack the critical people data to drive organizational decision making,\u201d said David Ulevitch, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, in a statement. \u201cChartHop is the solution to this all-too-common problem, and is built by company leaders who have felt this pain personally. ChartHop\u2019s visual approach to people analytics allows leaders to make organizational planning and strategy decisions with confidence. We\u2019re thrilled to lead ChartHop\u2019s Series B because of their impressive growth, the company\u2019s vision, and the terrific, mission-oriented team they\u2019ve assembled.\u201d He also led the company\u2019s seed round in February 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince implementing ChartHop earlier this year, we\u2019ve seen significant improvement in our engagement with talent routines as they\u2019re managed via ChartHop,\u201d said Sara Howe, vice president human resources at ZoomInfo, a customer of ChartHop, in a statement. \u201cOur employees have found the simple user interface and the centralized view of their data as the most helpful features. Leaders across ZoomInfo have also leveraged ChartHop to ensure that their organizations are well structured to support our continued rapid growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
