Winningtemp is a Swedish human resources technology company that provides an AI-powered employee engagement platform.[1] Founded in 2014 in Gothenburg by Pierre Lindmark and Mathias Hansson Fredlund, the company's software enables organizations to monitor and improve employee satisfaction and wellbeing in real time.[2][1] The platform uses science-backed surveys and artificial intelligence to gather feedback, predict trends, and recommend actions aimed at reducing workplace stress and staff turnover while boosting engagement and productivity.[2][1]
History
[edit]Founding and early growth
[edit]Winningtemp was established in 2014 by co-founders Pierre Lindmark and Mathias Hansson Fredlund in Gothenburg, Sweden.[2] The startup gained early recognition for its rapid growth: in 2018 it placed second in The Next Web's Tech5 competition for Sweden's fastest-growing tech companies (and 27th in Europe) based on revenue growth.[3]
Funding rounds
[edit]In January 2019, Winningtemp raised approximately €3.2 million (SEK 33 million) in a funding round backed by Norrsken Foundation, Chalmers Ventures, and Almi Invest, to expand its product development and international presence.[2][3] At that time, the platform was available in over 15 languages, and the company anticipated significant revenue growth as it entered new markets.[2]
Amid increased demand for digital employee-feedback tools during the COVID-19 pandemic, Winningtemp secured a Series B investment of €15.1 million in October 2020.[1][1] The round was co-led by London-based Frog Capital and Stockholm-based Bonnier Ventures.[1][3] This followed a reported 300% surge in platform usage during the first weeks of pandemic lockdowns.[1][1] Winningtemp stated it would use the funds to accelerate international expansion, including plans to enter the United States market.[1] By late 2020, the company had grown to 60 employees and had offices in Gothenburg, Stockholm, Oslo, and London.[1][1]
Industry recognition
[edit]In 2021, Winningtemp received industry accolades for its growth. Swedish tech news outlet Breakit ranked Winningtemp as the country's fastest-growing SaaS company, noting a 323% increase in revenue from 2018 to 2020.[4] At Breakit's SaaS Summit in October 2021, Winningtemp was also honored with the "SaaS Rocket of the Year" award, recognizing it as a top emerging cloud software company in Sweden.[5]
Platform and services
[edit]Winningtemp's core product is a cloud-based employee engagement and feedback platform designed to help organizations track the "temperature" of employee sentiment on an ongoing basis.[1] The system regularly sends research-based survey questions to employees and analyzes the responses in real time.[1] Using an AI engine grounded in data from hundreds of scientific studies, the platform visualizes trends in employee mood and behavior and can alert managers to issues such as declining morale or risk of employee burnout.[1][2] It provides managers and human resources professionals with dashboards and actionable recommendations to improve areas like job satisfaction, team climate, and leadership effectiveness.[1] The goal of the software is to enable employers to respond quickly to problems and implement improvements before small issues escalate.[1]
As of 2020, Winningtemp's solution was used by around 600 companies with over 100,000 users across more than 20 countries.[1][1] The company's data-driven approach to employee feedback has been highlighted as part of a broader trend of employers making culture and morale a "mission critical" priority at the executive level.[1] Industry observers noted that Winningtemp's growth coincided with rising interest in tools that support positive work culture and employee development, especially as many organizations transitioned to remote or hybrid work environments.[1]
Business model
[edit]Winningtemp operates on a software as a service (SaaS) subscription model.[1] Clients of Winningtemp have included companies across various industries, using the platform to reduce sick leave and boost workplace well-being and performance.[1]
