Seattle-area startup TeamSense, a software platform used by employers for absence reporting and employee communications, is raising fresh investment.
The company recently raised $19.5 million, according to a new filing with the SEC.
TeamSense CEO Sheila Stafford declined to comment when reached by GeekWire.
TeamSense originally spun out of a joint innovation studio managed by Seattle-based Pioneer Square Labs and Fortive, the Everett, Wash.-based industrial giant.
The company launched in 2020 and built software to help employers track COVID-19 symptoms at the workplace.
The product has evolved into a text-based system designed to manage employee attendance in real-time.
- Employees can use TeamSense to tell employers when they can’t come to work. Managers are notified immediately and the data is tracked for HR teams.
- The software uses automatic language translation and integrates with other HR platforms such as Workday, Zenefits, ADP, and more.
TeamSense’s customers include manufacturing and logistics companies. The startup has around 30 employees, according to LinkedIn.
Fortive acquired TeamSense in 2021. The company has operated independently since 2022; Fortive remains a minority investor.
TeamSense raised $4 million in 2023 from Bonfire Ventures and Operator Collective.
Stafford previously held leadership roles at Fluke, Whirlpool, and GM.
