2018Toronto-based Diversio pairs workplace people analytics with expert-led DEI consulting and training.
Diversio closed its Series A in January 2022 with First Round Capital, Golden Ventures, and Chandaria Family Holdings after operating self-funded and profitable since 2018 on a small angel investment. The company said the capital would accelerate product development, marketing, and sales and client-success hiring.
The round brought a United States lead investor alongside Canadian funds, matching the company's Toronto base and cross-border client footprint. Coverage reported the raise at about six and a half million in United States currency, consistent with the Canadian-dollar figure cited in domestic press.
Diversio combines a DEI analytics platform with consulting, training, and the Optimo engagement product. Survey and benchmarking dashboards produce an Inclusion Score, while tailored consulting, goal tracking, and a catalogue of expert-led programs convert findings into action.
The acquisition of CCDI Consulting added a team of in-house experts and expanded training content. The company reports clients across more than 35 countries, including governments and large corporations, positioning measurement plus services as its core commercial model.
Demand for workplace inclusion measurement is reinforced by research linking belonging to retention: BCG survey work found most desk-based and deskless workers open to new roles, while employees who feel they can be authentic at work are far less likely to quit. Vendors that quantify inclusion and pair scores with advisory services address that gap directly.
Diversio competes in this space against peers such as Pulsely, Korn Ferry, and Seramount, each combining diagnostics with consulting delivery. The company's May 2024 acquisition of CCDI Consulting expanded its training and services capacity, aligning with a market shift from generic education toward tailored, data-driven inclusion programs.
