Human Resources Tech Start-up InvestiPro Closes Seed Round Funding From Cascade Angels
BEND, OREGON (PRWEB) September 27, 2017 -- Human recources technology company InvestiPro recently closed seed round funding from Cascade Angels. The Bend, Oregon-based company has attracted numerous investors and is gaining traction as more HR professionals flock to the online workplace investigation platform.
InvestiPro is a cloud-based automation platform created by HR professionals, for HR professionals. Designed to simplify and automate workplace investigations from start to finish, it keeps the process timely, consistent, and above all, compliant.
Since InvestiPro eases the stress when an investigation hits, it’s also a tool that improves accountability and company culture.
“Ask any HR professional, and they’ll say they dread the term workplace investigation,” explains Dana Barbato, CEO of InvestiPro. “InvestiPro transforms those investigations into positive experiences.”
Their recent success includes use of the platform by a wide variety of clients, from small businesses to Fortune 5000 companies.
The Investment
Cascade Angels is a professionally managed, investor driven venture fund that creates opportunities for investors and businesses with connections to Central Oregon to drive economic growth and fuel prosperity.
"InvestiPro is our 16th investment overall and 3rd investment this year," said Julie Harrelson, CEO of HGI, Inc., Fund Manager, Cascade Angels. “Their platform addresses a complex HR process. We're also excited to have another Bend-based company in the portfolio."
InvestiPro will use the funds to hire several new sales positions, while continuing to invest in the platform’s technology and marketing.
InvestiPro’s Platform Benefits
InvestiPro inspires confidence in the hectic world of HR. From new hires to VP’s, it helps build a solid foundation for these professionals to perform compliant work, and often ends up improving workplace culture.
“We have a different mentality when it comes to investigations,” explains Barbato. “I’ve really spent a lot of years trying to develop a way to get a positive outcome out of these investigations in the workforce, to lay a strong foundation for company culture through accountability and trust.”
With the average time cost of a manual workplace investigation at 80-160 hours, InvestiPro’s ability to automate and streamline the process is appealing to anyone in charge of performing these investigations.
