RoundPegg, a culture management company that helps organizations tackle culture change, align sub-cultures and proactively integrate acquired companies, today announced details of its latest round of financing. Investors Access Venture Partners, Point B Capital and Dundee Venture Capital participated in a round totaling $2.8 million.

Since its inception in 2009, RoundPegg has experienced significant and continuous market momentum and has grown 180 percent year over year. RoundPegg anticipates close to 250 percent growth through the end of 2013 as it continues to expand its client base -- which includes industry leaders eBay, Kaiser Permanente, Nike and Sungard among others -- to more companies seeking to drive greater employee engagement by defining and nurturing their corporate cultures.

The latest round of investment follows the release of the company's innovative culture management solution, EngagePegg, earlier this year. EngagePegg provides continual measurement of employees' engagement levels, enabling companies to resolve any issues before it is too late, while tracking the effectiveness of their engagement efforts. With its latest solution being adopted in the market, RoundPegg is focusing on expanding its own workforce. In particular, the company is adding to its sales and marketing teams to address market demand for culture alignment solutions.

'Companies are placing more emphasis on the asset that their corporate culture represents; not only in attracting top talent, but also driving workforce performance and employee retention,' said Tim Wolters, CEO of RoundPegg. 'RoundPegg remains committed to leading the industry in the development of groundbreaking solutions that enable organizations to better understand and manage their unique cultures as well as fully leverage its advantages. This oversubscribed round validates the strength of our solutions and our potential to bring further innovation to this burgeoning category through growth capital.'
