Now everyone gets a personal assistant.
✍️ Here’s the Meeting Notetaker
People spend ~80,000 hours at work over a lifetime. That work shapes who we are. Yet too many of us go without the clarity and support to do our best. Priorities blur, purpose fades into the noise of the day-to-day, and work that should give us energy starts to drain it.
Leapsome exists to change that. We bring HR operations, performance, and growth onto one platform, so the things that help people do their best work finally connect. Employees get the clarity and support to grow. Managers get the structure to lead well. HR teams and leaders get a single source of truth to build teams that perform and workplaces people want to stay in.
Our mission is to make all those hours we spend working more fulfilling, for everyone.
Leapsome is the platform for HRIS, performance, and growth.
“Our vision translates into millions of employees feeling engaged and fulfilled at their workplace. Fulfilled employees have clarity on their goals, performance, and the direction the company is headed towards. They feel supported by their managers and peers, and receive honest, actionable feedback that boosts personal development and growth. Essentially, our product is a transformation catalyst.”
Leapsome integrates core HR operations like employee records, absences, and payroll, with performance, engagement, learning, and goals. Your entire employee lifecycle in one platform.
Goals, feedback, reviews, surveys, and learning paths all run together on connected people data, across the entire employee lifecycle. Build high-performing teams and make smarter people decisions.
Leapsome exists to make work more fulfilling, by helping you turn investment in your people into real results. That's why 2,000+ companies like Notion, Sony, and Porsche Digital choose us.
Leapsome was founded in 2016 by Jenny Podewils and Kajetan Armansperg. Having witnessed the growing pains of fast-paced companies, we learned firsthand how crucial strong people processes for feedback, alignment, and engagement are.
In 2022, we raised US$60 million in Series A funding, partnering with US-based Insight Partners alongside Europe-based Creandum and Visionaries Club. All three back our mission to make work more fulfilling for everyone. Their investment is helping us accelerate Leapsome's international growth and deepen the platform that connects HRIS, performance, and growth in one place.
Our founders realized that the absence of effective people enablement processes puts a strain on working relationships and is detrimental to individual and organizational growth. And this fueled their shared vision: to make work fulfilling for everyone and help companies develop their people and scale their businesses.
Jenny and Kajetan are building a company with a culture they felt was missing in the corporate and tech worlds. This includes a commitment to social and environmental causes, which became even more critical to our founders after their experiences working in cleantech and South America. We’re carbon-neutral and we’ve recently donated to great causes including Against Malaria Foundation, Berliner Obdachlosenhilfe, and Camino Seguro/Safe Passage.
Besides being co-owned by Jenny, we have other women in different levels of leadership. We’re committed to DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion), we’ve created the Future of Work Graduate Program to support people starting their careers, and we intend to do much more.
Our team members come from multiple countries (right now, we speak 35 languages) and have fascinating and diverse backgrounds and interests. As a science-backed platform, we have several psychologists on board. And we also have cooks, dancers, yoga teachers, soccer players, gamers, musicians, business coaches, triathletes... You name it! And they all help us make work fulfilling for everyone.
