About Us

Eightfold was founded with a vision to solve for employment in our society. For decades, the connection between individuals and opportunities has been based on who the individuals are and the strength of their network, vs. their potential. Eightfold leverages artificial intelligence to transform how to think about skills and capabilities for individuals as well as how jobs and career decisions are made. Eightfold offers the industry’s first AI-powered Talent Intelligence Platform to transform how organizations plan, hire, develop and retain a diverse workforce, enabling individuals to transform their careers.

We secured a $220M Series E funding round, led by SoftBank’s Vision Fund in June 2021. Thus, we’ve raised more than $400 million in funding to date, including $350 million in the last six months. We’re valued at over $2 Billion this time from $1 Billion a few months ago. Our valuation doubled within a few months.
