Achievers (formerly I Love Rewards), the fastest-growing global employee rewards and Social Recognition company, announced today that it has secured $24.5 million in a Series C financing, led by Sequoia Capital with existing investors, JLA Ventures, GrandBanks Capital and the Ontario Venture Capital Fund (Managed by NorthLeaf Capital).
"Employee rewards and recognition is a $48 billion industry that is highly fragmented, largely manual and lacking in the metrics to prove-out the ROI," said Alfred Lin, a Partner at Sequoia Capital and board member at Achievers. "Achievers' customer centric business model and SaaS technology platform is on a path to disrupt this market. We're excited to join Achievers to meet the demands of the modern workplace."
