London-based Harriet raises €1.4 million pre-seed to deliver a full-stack AI offering to HR teams
Summary
Cecily Motley, CEO of Harriet, commented: “The world is heading towards a future where every employee has an AI-powered assistant – with all the major tech players racing to build one. As organisations look to take advantage of AI solutions, and as teams begin to expect instant access to information and support, it’s vital to ensure tools lay the right foundations as well as unlock efficiencies. Accessed via Slack and plugged into other HR tools (such as ticketing systems, HRIS’ and payroll), Harriet can book staff leave, update them on company policies, find relevant documents, source payslips, and signpost them to support services, with answers tailored to the location of a specific employee. This removes a daily friction point for employees, who can now receive instant support based on streamlined and accurate documentation, unlocking workforce efficiencies. Oliver Kicks, Partner at Concept Ventures, who led the round, added: “Cecily and David are serial entrepreneurs who know how to build products people want to buy.
