Demodesk - €8M in Series A
In their own words: Demodesk is the first intelligent meeting platform for remote sales and success teams. We redefine screen sharing with our revolutionary technology that eliminates the pain associated with online meetings.
Founded in 2017 by Veronika Riederle and Alex Popp, this start up based across Munich and San Francisco could look set to make a big impact as the world is starting to become more accustom to the use of online meetings.
Demodesk are developing a different way for teams to collaborate using a 100% virtual desktop display in the browser, boasting no downloads or minimal to no lag for anyone. As we see the world continuing to rely and benefit from online meetings, we are very interested in seeing where Demodesk can go from here.
Legion - $22M in Series B

Founded in 2016 by Sanish Mondkar, (previously Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer at Ariba Inc. and then SAP) this Series B round means Legion have raised a total of $35.5M.
This AI powered software has certainly had some good successes to date, having recently been named in JMP Securities “Hot 100 List” as well as being recognised by Gartner for being a Cool Vendor in Human Capital Management. As the Workforce Management software space continues to grow we will certainly be keeping close tabs on how Legion will continue to build on their successes to date.
