How Workpuls Started

Workpuls was started by a person named Ivan Petrovic. He created the software and then founded the company in February 2015. This happened in San Francisco, California.

The main idea behind Workpuls was to help companies work better. It does this by automatically watching and understanding what employees do on their computers. This helps businesses see how their work is flowing.

What Workpuls Does

Workpuls offers its software as a "Software as a Service" (SaaS). This means companies don't buy the software once. Instead, they pay a fee to use it over the internet. It's like subscribing to a streaming service.

The software helps people who work in Human Resources (HR). HR professionals are in charge of managing employees. Workpuls gives them a clearer picture of how well employees are doing. It helps them understand work habits and improve how teams perform.

Growing the Company

To help the company grow, Workpuls needed money. In August 2016, they got their first big investment. This is called a "seed round." It means investors put money into the company to help it get started and expand. Workpuls became part of a group called South Central Ventures at this time. They worked with another company called StartLabs.

Later, in May 2019, Workpuls received more money from South Central Ventures. This was their third round of investments. These investments help Workpuls keep developing their software and reach more businesses.
