I am thrilled to share that Glickon has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the StatusToday platform.

Upon close of the transaction, Isaak, the AI that powers organization change with people analytics — that we, as a team, have created, built, and grown into a transformational solution for the workplace will become part of the Glickon family.

With the increasing focus on remote work and collaboration, companies are looking at AI powered tools to improve employee wellbeing and engagement. Glickon provides an array of solutions to enhance workplace engagement and will consolidate the capabilities from the Isaak platform by StatusToday to enhance its people analytics offering.

As founders, we will continue to support Glickon as advisers, take some time to recharge while deciding upon our next adventure.

In 2015 we started our journey at Entrepreneur First as a cyber-security startup that analysed human behaviour to detect insider threat. We were selected as one of 6 start-ups amongst a 100+ pre-qualified applicants to work with GCHQ in their first-ever accelerator and served prominent companies like Cisco and Hiscox as customers.

Our product detected anomaly behavior amongst employees, and while this was exciting for cybersecurity, some of our most visionary clients urged us to consider the bigger value that businesses could derive from a platform which could help understand employees on a deeper level. Following this advice, we progressively shifted our product towards the crucial junction between HR and Operations, and finally in 2019 we launched Isaak — the world’s first AI dedicated to people analytics.

The HR analytics world is a fast-growing one, with a lot of interest and positions opening. HR leaders now require a need to embrace a data-driven approach to claim a seat on the board, which in turn helped grow the people analytics movement.

Over the past few years, we have achieved great things. Just last year we surpassed our milestone of 1000 companies after only 3 months of launching Isaak. We have been named as one of Europe’s hottest AI Start-ups and UK’s most disruptive businesses, as well as being named a Gartner Cool Vendor for Digital Dexterity and AI in the Digital Workplace.

There are so many of you to thank.

Firstly, the employees and managers at over 1000 companies who trusted us with their information and listened to us as we made recommendations on how to make a positive change at their workplace.

Secondly, our incredible team of engineers, designers, growth experts and marketing gurus, who made Isaak possible. Together with our product adviser, Prof. Michael Huth from Imperial College London, we have made a sizeable dent in the path towards workplace objectivity.

And finally, it is our advisers and investors, who took a bet on us to change the way workplace operates. Thanks to LocalGlobe, Notion Capital, firstminute capital, Entrepreneur First, Force over mass capital, tiny vc and our valued angels for supporting this journey.

The future of work is transparent, objective and empowered. Today, we have made a bold move forward with this announcement.
