- Escalate
Participated · Seed · Oct 2023
Escalate operates a proprietary platform designed to reduce turnover among frontline and hourly employees by creating a community of support and providing opportunities for learning and career growth. The company aims to address the high attrition many frontline workers face within their first year on the job. Escalate is based in Silver Spring, Maryland, and has participated in TEDCO programs such as Prelude Pitch, Network Advisors and the Loaned Executive program. Financially, Escalate has received prior support from TEDCO’s Social Impact Funds in 2023 and secured an additional $250,000 pre-seed investment from TEDCO’s Pre-Seed Builder Fund. The company plans to use the new capital to continue scaling and to help more businesses offer support to hourly workers.
