Inductly

Inductly, founded in 2014 by Jonathan Lai and Walter Haas, developed a mobile-first platform designed to streamline employee onboarding and training. The company operated with a focus on enterprise clients, providing a tool to automate the delivery of training and compliance materials to new hires on their mobile devices, laptops, or desktops. This system allowed managers to monitor employee progress and engagement throughout the initial employment period.

The venture was a participant in Startmate, a Sydney-based accelerator, and was also part of Batch 9 of the "500 Startups" program. Through its participation in these programs, Inductly secured $100,000 in a seed funding round in January 2014, with investors including 500 Global and Startmate. The platform was adopted by clients such as Evolution Mining, WoolWorths, The Mitchellake Group, and Puerto Rico Ventures.

The core service revolved around automating the onboarding process, aiming to make it more efficient for companies and more engaging for employees. It functioned as a Software as a Service (SaaS) product for enterprise software clients. The platform's features enabled managers to connect with new team members, follow up on their training, and track performance from the outset. Despite its early traction and backing, the company is now listed as deadpooled.
