A founder with extensive startup experience

Candoora 2022 was founded by computer scientist Tom Krause, who has already worked for startups such as Delivery Hero and Cargonexx, first as CTO and most recently as CEO. The problem he wants to solve is employees' insufficient knowledge of their company's goals, accompanied by a lack of identification. There are several approaches to this, which Candoora wants to combine.

"Existing software is usually too complex, and coaching is rarely scalable and not measurable. With Candoora, we now combine both approaches and enable data-driven leadership development. The optional coaching via experienced executive coaches is personal and effective, while the software ensures that what is learned stays with the company in the long term and reaches the entire organization."

Included in the software are modules for formulating goals, for employee appraisals, and for giving feedback - supported, if necessary, by artificial intelligence to formulate written feedback constructively. At the same time, exceutives and HR managers can use the tool to perform detailed analyses and make their success measurable. Candoora also uses the term "Web3" in describing its offering, which refers to a decentralized area of the Internet in which blockchain technology plays an essential role.

Candoora is the 13th startup in venture capitalist allygatr's portfolio. "The software alone that Tom Krause has developed is impressive. The human component that is added makes Candoora a unique and super effective leadership tool that will strengthen any team," explains Benjamin Visser, CEO and founder of allygatr.
