In today’s article we will discuss Index Ventures Growth VI and Index Ventures Incubator. We will also touch on the topics of Good Eggs, Beamery, and Pilot.
Beamery
The Beamery is the king of the aforementioned talent lifecycle management space. Not content with its title, the company has doubled down by opening a shiny new sales office in the Bay area. Indeed, the company has seen a meteoric rise in clientele in just two years, thanks in no small part to an influx of global brands looking for a piece of the action. With a slew of marquee names in tow, the company is doubling down on its efforts to improve the hiring experience. As of this writing, Beamery has over 1 million roles filled on its platform.
Among other things, the company boasts a robust technology stack, including its latest and greatest iteration. For the most part, the company has retained its core engineering team in London, UK.
Good Eggs
Good Eggs is a food delivery startup that helps consumers get a variety of products, including groceries, meal kits, and dairy. The company launched in the San Francisco Bay Area last year and plans to expand its business to more markets.
Good Eggs recently raised $100 million in new funding. The startup is led by former Clif Bar and Plum Organics executive Bentley Hall.
The company recently laid off 15 percent of its workforce, but it has a clear focus on San Francisco and is planning to expand its operations to Southern California and Brooklyn next. Currently, 70 percent of its products are sourced from local farmers.
The Good Eggs team is working hard to keep workers safe. They have also built a tablet app that employees can use to check temperatures of foods and track the delivery process.
