【美国】AI驱动的培训平台Eightfold AI获2.2亿美元E轮融资,由软银愿景基金2领投,估值半年翻1倍这事儿基本也就是软银愿景基金干得出来。
加州山景城的Eightfold AI今天宣布,它已经筹集了2.2亿美元的E轮融资。这笔资金将用于继续Eightfold由人工智能驱动的人才智能平台的快速增长和发展,并扩大其不断增长的合作伙伴生态系统。工作正在发生变化,劳动力也在不断发展,迫使企业今天就为未来做好准备。对个性化的再学习和提高技能计划的需求已成为当今全球劳动力面临的最关键问题之一,而八方联智Eightfold AI的人工智能具有独特的能力,能够在全球范围内解决这一问题。
目前的人力资源系统已经无法跟上支持前瞻性企业所需的创新步伐。要大规模地解决这个问题,唯一的办法是建立对所有人才的深入了解:每个员工、候选人、承包商的角色和技能,这一点在Eightfold AI独特的人才智能平台上得到了体现。
本轮E轮融资由软银愿景基金2*领投,还包括前几轮的投资者,包括General Catalyst, Capital One Ventures, Foundation Capital, IVP和Lightspeed Venture Partners。
想知道人才培养的赛道有多火,看看这个就知道了:Eightfold AI迄今筹集的资金总额超过4.1亿美元,其中超过3.5亿美元是在过去几个月里筹集的。
"目前的人力资源系统是为解决前一个时代的问题而设计的,它们未能跟上工作和劳动力性质变化的步伐。在Eightfold,我们有一个前所未有的机会,利用人工智能来调整个人的职业目标,同时为雇主创造更好的结果,"Eightfold的创始人兼首席执行官Ashutosh Garg说。"改造人力资源和全球人才,进一步释放价值数万亿美元的人类潜力。软银与我们有着同样大胆的愿景,我们很高兴欢迎他们成为我们的合作伙伴。"
自2020年10月宣布Eightfold AI的D轮融资以来,该组织的估值已经增加了一倍多。这是由公共和私营部门的客户和合作伙伴取得的巨大势头直接导致的。通过单一的人才智能平台提供的创新是全球领先组织的基础,因为他们为工作岗位的加速变化、不断变化的技能需求和劳动力的其他后发转变做准备。
"在人工智能和机器学习的支持下,Eightfold的平台为全球企业提供了管理整个人才生命周期的单一解决方案,包括雇用、保留和发展多样化的全球劳动力,"软银投资顾问公司的高级管理合伙人Deep Nishar说。"我们很高兴与Ashutosh和Eightfold团队合作,支持他们改变企业管理人才的方式和人们建立自己的职业生涯的雄心。"

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 27, 2020 -- Eightfold AI today announced that it has raised a $125M Series D funding round. The funds will be used to expand and scale Eightfold's leading AI-powered Talent Intelligence Platform, a single solution for managing the entire talent lifecycle. Using a single platform to address this critical area stands in direct contrast to the disjointed point solutions commonly found in the talent management space. As a direct result of Eightfold's innovative vision and dedication, the company is now valued at $1 billion and works with customers across 110 countries, 17 industries and 13 languages.
The funding round is led by General Catalyst and also includes investors from previous rounds, including Capital One Ventures, Foundation Capital, IVP and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Total funding raised to date by Eightfold AI is more than $180 million. Eightfold has more than quadrupled its sales since the last round of equity funding in April 2019. Eightfold AI's customers, leading companies embracing this global talent transformation, include AirAsia, Bayer, Capital One and Micron.
"Our mission is to leverage our expertise in AI to provide the right career for everyone in the world," said Ashutosh Garg, Founder & CEO at Eightfold. "The Eightfold team has spent the last four years developing a single platform servicing all talent lifecycle needs, bypassing single point solutions entirely. This is the future of our industry, and has already made Eightfold the go-to provider for industry leaders in every sector. We are grateful to our investors, customers and partners for sharing in our vision, especially at a time when the immediate focus is on the well-being of the global workforce."
Eightfold AI's single platform for the entire talent lifecycle brings together billions of anonymized data points, algorithms and domain expertise required to make a reliable, scalable impact for enterprise-scale organizations. The patented Talent Intelligence Platform uses deep learning AI on existing public and legacy HCM data to transform how companies acquire, develop and advance talent, and achieve D&I goals. Seeking to evolve their workforce into a competitive advantage, Eightfold customers have achieved significant results, including: a 49 percent increase in the number of employees finding their next role within their current company, a 58 percent increase in employees offered other jobs within the same company after their role had been eliminated, and 60 percent more highly qualified candidates applying to open jobs.
"Eightfold has built a true intelligence-driven platform for talent acquisition and optimization for the enterprise. What's been most impressive is their approach to partnering with companies to fundamentally understand their needs and then applying tech against those needs to create a scalable, efficient approach to talent management," said Quentin Clark, Managing Director at General Catalyst. "Theirs is an industry-agnostic approach that has the potential to rapidly evolve how companies meet and retain their best people."
