Lara AI, a Mexico-based startup that uses technology to help companies detect disgruntled or at-risk employees at an early stage of departure, raised $1.1 million in funding to help companies improve their employee experience.
The round was from Newtopia VC, 500 LatAm, FJ Labs, MrPink VC, Brazil Venture Capital, and several angel investors who also participated.
According to Guido Kuznicki, co-founder, and CEO of Lara AI: “Remote and hybrid work has made it more difficult for companies to maintain direct contact with their employees and, essentially, their experience in the organization: whether they are satisfied with their job, whether they are seriously considering a change of position, among others.”
Lara AI is now looking to consolidate its presence in Mexico and expand throughout Latin America.
