💥It’s official. Today, I’m excited to share an important win for the whole BUNCH community.

We’ve just secured a fresh $1m in funding to keep building BUNCH, bringing our total seed funding to $4.4m, and positioning us to raise a Series A before the end of 2021. A huge thank you to our partners at Mediahuis Ventures, M13, and Atlantic Labs.

Over the past year, we’ve learned that bringing people that are interested in their own personal growth, as well as in the growth of others, together and supporting each other enables us all to achieve more. From #TakeTheLead, to our Ambassador Program, to yesterday’s 🔥 “Leadership F*ckups” chat on Clubhouse: The power of this community is real and I feel humbled and inspired by its courage, authenticity and diversity.

This time last year, we had 100 people testing our WhatsApp-based MVP. Now our user community could fill Madison Square Garden 😱.

While the future is bright, we have lots of work to do. Here’s our plan:

👉 Continue improving the BUNCH AI coach core experience

👉 Double down on the combination of AI coaching and peer learning

👉 Double down on making the AI coach more and more and more personalized

We want to enable anyone to be a leader. If that’s a vision you can sign up for, we’ll need your help! Let’s co-create the future of leadership together.
