Rising Team provides a team performance platform that equips managers to run connecting, interactive team-building sessions remotely or in person without needing an outside facilitator. The software covers leadership topics that drive high-performing teams and offers tools to develop managers, increase employee engagement, and improve retention. Customers named in the article include Bank of Hawaii, Yahoo!, DXC, and Achieve. Led by CEO and founder Jennifer Dulski and based in Menlo Park, the company is introducing aRTi, a conversational AI leadership coach, this summer; aRTi combines research-based leadership best practices with insights from Rising Team sessions to offer personalized recommendations and scripts. Rising Team recently closed an $8M Series A and plans to use the funds to enhance its platform with AI, hire new team members, and expand market presence. The platform is positioned to deepen manager coaching and scale talent development across distributed teams. Rising Team offers a platform that combines management tools and training to help managers motivate, organize and lead their teams. Its tools suite includes proprietary assessments and 1:1 templates designed to surface who team members are, how they want to be appreciated, and what motivates them. Alongside assessments, Rising Team provides training via videos, articles, and audio resources and is building a community for managers to communicate with one another. The company plans to add AI-based custom training tips powered by assessment data in the future. Rising Team is pursuing a bottom-up revenue approach that allows individual managers to purchase the product while also enabling organizations to license it for full employee bases. It is currently in free beta and has a team of eight people, with 60% female and 50% BIPOC representation.
