Humanly.io Milestones And Insights of 2021

Prem Kumar

2021 presented a range of exciting milestones and highlights for us here at Humanly.io. Here are the top moments of our year.

Another pandemic-driven year has come and gone, and we’re grateful to have an incredible year filled with growth, innovation, and achievements. Here at Humanly.io, we are surrounded by incredible humans. This extends to our outstanding team, investors, partners, advisors and customers who continue to be an endless supply of knowledge, insights, encouragement, and enthusiasm for creating more equitable, inclusive hiring practices. What we know for sure, is we wouldn’t have had such a remarkable 2021 year without them.

This year’s highlighted conversation moments.

Humanly.io $4.2M momentum raise.

How could we not start off with this outstanding highlight? In September, we closed on our seed round of funding for $4.2M. This was an absolute highlight of the year.

We’re replacing the time that a recruiting coordinator would spend doing hundreds of these phone screens, and doing it a much quicker period of time, and then we’re helping the human be better at the next step. – Prem Kumar

Times Square, New York City

Leading this latest round of funding was Zeal Capitol Partners. Additional investors for this last round included: Spark Growth Ventures, Basecamp Fund, Moneta Ventures, Formentera Capitol. We are incredibly lucky to have investors who share our mission in bringing a more equitable hiring experience to all.

5X the employees

In the wake of an exciting round of funding, we added new talent to our team. In 2021 we went from just four full-time employees to a total of 20! Our CEO & Co-Founder, Prem Kumar makes a point to make sure Humanly.io’s team has a diverse representation. And not just skin tones, but also gender diversity, backgrounds, culture, and neurodiverse representation. You can learn more about our outstanding team here.

Looking back on 2021, I am most proud of our team. Growing from 4 to 20 people whom all are shining examples of our values. This year has taken a huge mental and physical toll on us all, and yet this small group of folks from around the country and world, many of whom have never met in person have created magic in a bottle we’re excited to deliver to our customers in the years ahead. – Prem Kumar, CEO & Co-Founder

Customers get transparent.

With an exciting new launch and an award to boot, we also had an awesome opportunity to have a conversation with one of our customers, Susan Cornish from College Nannies. Getting transparent feedback from customers is something we truly value. We want hiring teams to be successful, and we know that transparent conversations help us understand the journey and challenges they face.
