tenXer builds a human capital management platform that allows employees to analyze daily work habits and measure productivity. Its initial product is an invite-only beta geared toward software engineers with integrations to GitHub, Pivotal Tracker and Jira. The company launched the beta three months ago, has grown to a team of nine, and reports encouraging early-user feedback. tenXer plans to use new funding to hire in marketing, product management and engineering and to expand its service offering beyond the software engineering industry. The company was founded in 2011 by Jeff Ma and is privately held and headquartered in San Francisco. Investors to date include Radar Partners, True Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Google Ventures, Webb Investment Network, Social and Capital Partnership and a group of angel backers. TenXer builds a platform that taps into cloud-based work tools (Gmail, calendars, GitHub, JIRA, Stack Overflow and others) to track key actions without adding tracking overhead. The product gives individuals a scoreboard of work habits so they can analyze and improve performance—the quantified self applied to work. Jeff Ma is targeting programmers first because their tools expose trackable events such as bug fixes, commits, and releases, and he plans to expand to mainstream cloud services like Twitter, Zendesk, Basecamp, Zoho and Salesforce. The company is consumer-oriented (individuals sign up and eventually pay) but focuses on professional work metrics rather than fitness or entertainment. TenXer launched last week and is Jeff Ma’s fourth startup. Financially, it has between $1 million and $2 million in financing from investors including Radar Partners, True Ventures, and Google Ventures.
