Rising Team

Rising Team helps companies increase employee engagement and scale talent development with tools that equip managers to lead engaging team development sessions (remote or in person). Each Rising Team Kit covers one leadership topic and includes training for the leader and a fun, interactive experience for the team. Our software takes care of everything—learning goals, warmups, activities, data summaries, and even countdown timers—at a fraction of the cost of bringing in outside facilitators. Kit themes include all the topics that drive high-performing team, from psychological safety, to cultivating appreciation, to clarifying expectations and more. Over 90% of managers and team members who do Rising Team sessions say they feel more connected, learn something valuable, and will work more effectively together as a team. We've also been able to drive a lift in over a dozen core engagement scores, including a 7%+ increase in "intent to stay" at the company in just 3 months. The company was founded in 2020 and raised a $3 million dollar seed round in 2021 led by Female Founders Fund, with participation from Peterson Ventures, Burst Capital, 500 Startups, Xoogler Ventures, Roble Ventures, Supernode Ventures, and several angel investors.
