Gloat is an AI-powered workforce agility platform that builds a Work Orchestration Platform to match employees to projects, gigs, mentorships, and roles based on skills, interests, and experiences, while integrating human expertise with AI for exponential productivity.[1][2][6] It serves large enterprises like Unilever, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Mastercard, and Schneider Electric, solving the AI productivity gap where companies invest in AI but struggle to blend it with human skills, enabling 10x output without scaling headcount.[1][2][5][6] The platform's core is a Multi-Ontology Workforce Graph that maps tasks, skills, and work units, powering enterprise optimization, work orchestration, and workforce readiness.[1][3][5]
Gloat has shown strong growth momentum, raising $57 million in Series C (2021) and $90 million in Series D (2022) from investors like Accel and Generation Investment Management, facilitating over 31,000 internal gig connections by 2021, and scaling to 1,500 employees with integrations into tools like Microsoft Teams and Jira.[2][4][5]
Gloat was founded in 2015 by Danny Shteinberg (co-founder and Chief Product Officer/CMO), Ben Reuveni (CEO), and Amichai Schreiber (CTO), who identified the need to empower employees in large enterprises with startup-like agility amid rigid talent structures.[1][2] The idea emerged from recognizing that heavy AI investments weren't yielding returns because people lacked tools to effectively combine human skills with AI; they built the platform to bridge this gap, turning "gloating" into celebrating 10x productivity achievements.[1][2]
Early traction came from enterprises adopting the AI-based talent marketplace for internal mobility, evolving into a full Agile Workforce Operating System with skills intelligence and deep-learning AI by the 2020s, marked by major funding rounds and awards like the 2024 Inspiring Workplaces Work Tech Award.[2][3][5]
Gloat rides the AI workforce transformation trend, addressing how enterprises must operationalize AI amid skills shortages and rapid role evolution, where output must decouple from headcount.[1][5][6] Timing is ideal post-2020s AI boom, as companies face "AI productivity gaps" despite investments, with market forces like talent retention pressures and hybrid work favoring dynamic platforms over static HR tools.[1][2][5]
It influences the ecosystem by enabling "Exponential Workforces," fostering internal mobility (e.g., 31,000+ gigs), reskilling at scale, and integrating AI as a collaborator, helping giants like PepsiCo and Mastercard adapt like startups while driving broader adoption of skills-based organizations.[2][3][6]
Gloat is poised to lead AI-driven workforce orchestration, expanding features like Skills Planner and AI-agent task matching to capture more enterprise AI budgets amid evolving roles.[5][6] Trends like agentic AI, continuous learning, and skills economies will amplify its impact, potentially evolving it into the de facto OS for human-AI hybrid teams. As enterprises prioritize ROI on AI, Gloat's focus on measurable 10x gains positions it to redefine talent agility, building on its funding momentum and client wins to scale global influence. This bridges back to its mission: transforming AI investments into force-multiplier workforces.[1][6]
