PeopleTech Partners is a network of business leaders investing time in People Tech

What is PeopleTech?

People Technology is the full range of software platforms and services that enable organizations to support the talent that drives success.

It’s critical for founders to have key partners that work in the companies their products serve. All People Leaders know of H.R. or Recruiting tools that don’t seem to “get” the real needs of organizations. We believe that giving founding teams access to the right information early in their development drives success.

Insight

PeopleTechPartners helps emerging companies understand key operational problems by providing insight into the most pressing issues faced by organizations. Our network of people leaders works with founding teams of early stage HR and Recruiting technologies to drive results and rapidly scale valuable innovations.

feedback

Our people leaders provide key feedback on product features, organizational plans and market strategy. We act as integral advisors on all aspects of business for our founding teams to further their vision and ensure rapid customer acquisition.

Evangelism

As our companies engage the market, we provide evangelism for their products. We spread the word within our extensive networks, participate in beta launches and become public advocates for solutions that transform the PeopleTech space.

Success

We know that when founding teams get the right information early on to inform their product strategy, their trajectory accelerates and their companies thrive. We help ensure the success of the next generation of PeopleTech that will transform the future of work.
