Our platform is an everyday, frontend destination for culture drivers such as team building, recognition, surveys, employee wellbeing, philanthropy, communities of shared interest, and more. And with everything in one place, we identify and suggest the specific actions employees can take – from sharing a photo to recognizing a colleague – to improve business outcomes like retention, satisfaction and performance.”

6. Adalo

Founded: 2018

“We believe anyone one should be able to make an app, regardless of technical skill. Adalo is a platform that makes creating apps as easy as putting together a slide deck.

Creating web and mobile apps traditionally required learning how to code, finding a technical cofounder, or raising a lot of capital. For some, this means spending lots of precious time and money before they can get their idea off the ground. For others, this cost is simply too high and they walk away from their dream.

With Adalo, anyone can turn their idea into a real app — without having to hire expensive developers.”
