WorkHound provides a platform that enables employers to receive instant and anonymous workforce feedback so management can address issues as part of employee retention efforts. The company initially focused on the trucking industry because of high driver turnover, and its platform and data-backed insights have since expanded into additional supply chain verticals. WorkHound was founded in 2015 by Max Farrell and Andrew Kirpalani in Des Moines, Iowa, and later added a second headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The company now has a national footprint and is powered by a fully remote team. In March 2022 WorkHound completed a $12M Series A financing from Level Equity. The company intends to use the funds to grow headcount, expand product offerings, and deepen its presence in trucking and other supply chain markets. WorkHound provides a software platform for carriers to keep drivers and improve their experience by leveraging smartphone feedback and aggregating ideas into actionable operational insights. The company was founded in 2015 by Andrew Kirpalani and Max Farrell. It employs four full‑time team members in Chattanooga, Tennessee and two in Des Moines, Iowa. WorkHound raised $500K in the reported funding round. The company intends to use the funds to improve the product, ensure customer satisfaction and build long‑term relationships. The platform’s focus is on reducing driver turnover through continuous feedback and operational improvements.
