Glassbreakers retires its consumer peer-mentorship community for women and redirects engineering resources to enterprise inclusion software for large employers. The company transitions community members to a partner platform as it shifts its focus from personal mentorship to serving employers instead.
Glassbreakers is a startup whose SaaS platform matches employee resource group members with mentors. A profile of its founders presents the inclusion technology as a way to tackle the diversity challenge and says the platform supplies large employers with anonymized diversity analytics.
Glassbreakers raises $1.98 million from Social Leverage to expand its workplace diversity software. The funding brings the company’s total to about $3 million and finances pilot programs with large employers.
Glassbreakers moves from a consumer mentorship community to enterprise software for workplace diversity after trial runs with large technology companies. The company reports 12,000 members and more than $1 million raised.
