TaskHuman announced a $9.5 million Series A Round of venture capital for its coaching marketplace. This brings its total raised to $13 million. The deal was led by USVP.
Coaching marketplaces are getting increased attention from employers, tech providers, and investors. Trends that existed pre-COVID have been illuminated and driven increased adoption of not just tech, but company policy in this area. This category has been led by firms like BetterUp who has seen high growth and adoption. As high growth providers, like BetterUp, continue to raise funds that come with both increased valuations and investor expectations many analysts look to a looming stress test of the coaching marketplace model. Simply put, can the quality of coaching scale globally as the number of coaches increases, all working across multiple customers? Where do providers pull back from the marketplace and lean in more on technology or empowering coaches “in-house?”
