Guys. Are you ready for this? Two months ago we were nominated for UNLEASH America’s Startup Award with over 20 other technologies. We were selected as a finalist (one of 6) at the end of April. And then, WE WON THE WHOLE DANG THING YESTERDAY!!
I’m still in shock. The office is chaos (the good kind.) And we couldn’t be happier – or more proud. UNLEASH America is one of the fastest growing international shows in the industry. While they’ve established themselves in Europe, they’re quickly taking over the US market and going head to head against giants like HR Tech and SHRM.
There were 77 speakers, 9 stages, and over 80 HR Technologies wedged into the Aria hotel in Las Vegas this week – all for the sake of creating a better future of work.
We heard from giants like Gary Hamel, Rachel Botsman, and Mo Gawdat. We learned about humanocracy, AI, and how to bring Trust, Happiness and Humans back into Future of Work and HR Technology. We rubbed elbows with HR leaders and practitioners from around the globe, spent quality time with some of the greatest innovators in HCM,and we did it all from the thick of it at the Startup Zone on the Expo floor.

But, as much as we loved being a part of the expo hall, nothing beat the Startup Competition.
If you didn’t have a chance to catch it at the event, then I’ll give you the general run-down. Like I said earlier, we were one of 6 finalists. We got to see beautiful demos and compelling presentations from:
