Tenacity builds software that applies social physics to identify cultural problems within workplaces and deploy data-driven solutions to improve productivity and reduce attrition. The platform encourages employees to set personal and work-related goals—ranging from stress reduction to fitness—and uses social incentives such as accountability partners and Amazon gift-card rewards to drive engagement. Tenacity has chosen to begin in the contact center industry and is currently piloting its service with a large telecom company. The company originated from research at MIT’s media lab and was born in an MIT entrepreneurship class; its founders later graduated from the Techstars Kansas City accelerator. Tenacity relocated to Seattle in 2014 and is led by CEO Ron Davis and CTO John Vogel. The 7-person company has raised a total of $1.9 million to date.
