UK business intelligence startup Temporall has raised $1.2 million in seed funding from British backer Luminous Ventures.
Temporall offers an easy way for leaders to see how their business is doing, combining different data sets on its analytics platform to present an overall view of company performance. Its platform integrates with other popular enterprise tools such as Slack, Facebook Workplace, and Microsoft Teams.
Founder and CEO Thomas Davies spent a decade at Google, latterly as a director at its Cloud division before leaving in 2017 to start Temporall. Davies described his job at Google to Business Insider as mostly client facing, and one that gave him insight that C-suite execs often have a patchy view of their organization's performance.
"That was the acorn, why is it that some companies are better at performing than others," Davies said, adding that it was "very much about the information, the data, the insights, that people don't have at their fingertips to let them make effective decisions."
Davies said that Temporall had not seen interruption to its current business due to the pandemic, and had made two recent senior hires to its tech division.
The company closed its funding in April. It has around 20 employees in total and plans to continue hiring through 2020.
