Tigerhall, a mobile SaaS platform for social learning located in Singapore, has raised $7 million in a funding round headed by Monk’s Hill Ventures.
The money will be utilised to increase the company’s presence in the US and APAC regions. It also plans to focus on user personalization and product development, such as launching a Tigerhall micro-podcast creative studio, where CEOs and business leaders may utilise Tigerhall templates to make short under 20-minute podcasts at home or on the road.
Tigerhall, which was launched in March 2019, is a challenge to desktop-first, video-based, and out-of-date corporate development programmes.
It offers mobile-first upskilling to professionals through tailored material based on machine learning, user behaviour, and a quick evaluation exam. Following that, the user may see tailored information and growth areas depending on their own specific development plan. Trails are intended for learning experiences with a lot of depth, organisation, and time constraints.
The firm says that it enhances engagement by utilising busy business professionals’ short attention spans and behaviour through learning journeys made up of over 1,300 bite-sized pieces of material. Micro-podcasts, live streaming, films, and power readings make up the content, which is fueled by a network of over 800 worldwide Thinkfluencers with real-world success.
Karen Hopkins (global CMO at E&Y), Radha Subramanyam (president, chief research & analytics officer at CBS), Arielle Gross Samuels (head of global strategy & engagement at Facebook), and Anshul Sheopuri (VP and CTO — Data & AI at IBM) are among the Thinkfluencers.
Tigerhall has grown its reach to professionals in 32 countries, with business customers like HP, New Relic, BNY Mellon, and others in the IT, financial services, and consumer products industries.
In the previous year, the social learning platform claims to have increased income by tenfold.
“Where you come from should never get in the way of where you want to go,” says Nellie Wartoft, CEO of Tigerhall. “From my experiences in recruitment, I’d see candidates struggle to get their dream job because they didn’t get the relevant mindset or soft skills required by employers from their education investments. I’ve also personally learnt much more from interacting with senior leaders and getting advice from experts than in university and corporate training programmes.
Tigerhall secured US $3.1 million in April 2020 from Sequoia Capital’s Surge, Taurus Ventures, and XA Network, among others. It received an early investment of US$1.8 million from WDHB, Paladigm Capital, and a private investor a year ago.
