Bryd raises $300k to supercharge companies' productivity with Slack

July 23, 2024

Meet Bryd! This startup isn’t like any other you’ve seen before.

They focus specifically on helping businesses leverage and understand Slack—to do things that you’d never imagine are possible with the platform.

  • From controlling flight operations for airlines, slashing time needed for product development cycles, and more.
  • Launched in 2023, they have clients across 25 countries, including January Capital (Singapore), Pavilion (United States) and Kaizen Gaming (Greece).

Now, they’ve just raised a $300k seed from angel investors!

💭 What’s the problem?

Ask any entrepreneur, and they’ll tell you that all the software bills and costs pile up when your business grows.

  • Just adding one more person to your software plan can add a whole lot of $$$—imagine adding hundreds of people.

So, making the most of the tools you have instead of having far too many can help you lower costs and streamline operations.

So what? As Slack evolves from what many (we’re guilty too!) think of as just a messaging app into an all-in-one AI-enabled productivity platform with new features like Slack Lists, Canvas, and AI, you can do so much more with just one platform.

  • Slack is used by nearly 1M organizations globally, including 80% of the Fortune 100 companies, is a robust platform that enables seamless communication and collaboration.
  • Acquired by Salesforce in 2021 for $27.7B, Slack has become a key part of Salesforce’s Customer 360 platform, leveling up the platform even more.

👇🏼 What they do

Advisory and Professional Services. Expert guidance to help businesses maximize Slack's capabilities.

Managed Services. Full support and management for ongoing Slack operations.

Custom Slack Applications. Tailored SaaS applications to meet unique business needs that companies can easily start using.

Some examples?

  • Onboarding App: Simplifies the life of new hires by automating paperwork, account setup, and access to resources. It includes task checklists, welcome messages, Slack training, and team introductions for a smooth start.

💰 What’s with the $$$?

They’re here to grow, grow, grow. They’ve just expanded globally beyond their Singapore HQ and just brought on GTM experts in London and New York to drive expansion and partnerships in the Americas and EMEA.

  • They’ll also release new features and apps to keep serving the Slack and Salesforce ecosystem.
