Their efforts are spearheaded by a global People Geek community, which is over 40,000 members strong.

"People have always been a business's richest resource. As a leader in making people analytics tools accessible, Culture Amp is ensuring that culture comes first for companies across the globe," said Diestel. "Many of our portfolio companies are already Culture Amp customers and we expect many more to join the wave. When they think culture, they think Culture Amp."

Built by Culture Amp's team of organizational psychologists and data scientists, the platform is easy to use and automatically surfaces valuable insights and recommended actions. The company currently serves over 1,000 customers, including Airbnb, Slack, Adobe, Estée Lauder, Warby Parker and Lyft.

"We owe our growth to incredible advocacy from our customers, as illustrated by our exceptional Net Promoter Score, which has remained above 65 since we started collecting this feedback," said Culture Amp CEO, Didier Elzinga.
