\nPRESS RELEASE
\n<\/strong>Evolv, a pioneer in SaaS-based predictive data analytics that provides a holistic view into workforce profitability, has closed a $15 million Series D financing, led by VantagePoint Capital Partners, the company announced today. Existing investors GGV Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Khosla Ventures also participated in the round. Evolv will use the funds to further develop its predictive analytics solutions and to support continued vertical market and geographic expansion. These investments will further enable Evolv customers to utilize analytics to drive meaningful operating margin improvement via better insights into key drivers of workforce productivity, retention and profitability.<\/p>\n

Evolv was founded in 2007 on a simple premise that big data predictive analytics and machine learning can be used to correct the inefficiencies that undermine the profitability of the frontline \u201chourly\u201d workforce \u2013 which today represents 60 percent of all US jobs. Evolv\u2019s customized solutions profile top performers, predict employee success, benchmark workforce performance, identify effective and ineffective training and management practices, predict employee tenure, recommend organizational improvements, lengthen the average employee lifecycle, and ultimately, improve operating profitability.<\/p>\n

Evolv\u2019s first of their kind solutions have delivered an average of $10 million in P&L impact to each of its customers, while simultaneously increasing workforce tenure by an average of 15 percent and workforce performance by 5 percent. Evolv enables employers to finally look at their workforces through the lens of big data predictive analytics to select, develop and retain a more productive, positive and ultimately more profitable workforce. Via its SaaS-based solution, Evolv supports its customers in debunking workforce myths that have historically undermined profitability for employers and job satisfaction for tens of millions of employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Evolv, we are focused on the most valuable asset of any company – its people. We believe that data will change how the workforce is selected, retained and developed and we continuously show in each customer relationship that data provides a more certain and replicable path to increased productivity and profitability than traditional employment practices,\u201d said Max Simkoff, CEO and co-founder, Evolv. \u201cOur customers use Evolv\u2019s workforce profitability solution to both uncover and implement key insights about how to optimize the entire employee lifecycle.\u201d<\/p>\n
