Venture Capital News: WhoKnows Raises $1.75M in Series A Funds

2013-11-15
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, WhoKnows has raised $1.75 million in Series A funds.
WhoKnows today announced it has raised Series A from PivotNorth Capital, The Citrix Accelerator and angel investors for its breakthrough Enterprise Knowledge Acceleration Platform that revolutionizes how organizations unlock the knowledge and expertise within their companies and enables employees to work more efficiently.

The solution provides management with insight into organizational expertise and capabilities and is instrumental in positively impacting enterprise competitiveness and profitability. Whoknows' Automatic Expertise Discovery Engine utilizes breakthrough technology to accurately determine 'who knows what' within today's enterprises.

'In today's knowledge economy, companies recognize how important it is to identify their unique and differentiated organizational skills and proficiencies with a high degree of accuracy. With the increased complexity of the modern workplace, it has become harder for knowledge workers to find and connect with colleagues that can help them get their job done. Our customers tell us how employees keep 're-inventing the wheel' over and over again, repeatedly researching the same tasks and initiatives which in many cases have already been solved or rejected by others within the organization many times over,' said Toufi Saliba, Founder and CEO.

'WhoKnows has developed a revolutionary yet intuitive approach that solves the costly and debilitating knowledge gap evident in today's companies,' said Tim Connors of PivotNorth Capital. 'With WhoKnows, employees can easily find the right information and locate colleagues with expertise in a particular field to get projects done more quickly. Now, more than ever, it is essential to be clear about 'who knows what' and connect knowledgeable colleagues with knowledge seekers when it matters most.'

'We see great opportunity for companies to leverage breakthrough social technologies like WhoKnows,' said John McIntyre, Managing Director of the Citrix Startup Accelerator. 'WhoKnows adds great value to the enterprise in improving the ability for employees to find and share the right information, at the right time, with the right people.'
