Our Story

The   way

We’re building a "Second Brain" for Chief People Officers. 

The Left Brain: a people analytics engine that equips you with  insights to make smarter, data-driven decisions. 

The Right Brain: a community to get inspired by 2,000+ CPOs at hypergrowth companies.

A message from our CEO & Founder

In a time of macroeconomic turbulence, a tectonic shift in the employer/employee relationship, and the brave new world of work ushered in by a relentless pandemic, every company, CEO, and board has reached the same conclusion: 

Nothing is more important than getting your people strategy right. 

And no single role is more critical to enabling that strategy than the CPO, collaborating closely with the CEO and the broader leadership team. If you’re a Chief People Officer, you’ve lived this firsthand. And you’ve probably run into Knoetic in the last year, as we’ve brought more and more hypergrowth CPOs into our network. 

Knoetic was founded to help every CPO make better, faster, smarter decisions with data.

We do this by building two products: (1) People Analytics, and (2) the CPOHQ Community.

With People Analytics, CPOs can gain insight across attrition, DEI&B, recruiting, and more.

And then when paired with our CPOHQ Community, they can begin to solve their most pressing problems by tapping into a community of 2,000+ peers to ask questions, gain benchmarks, and open-source creative solutions.

When these two sides come together, CPOs get a holistic view of what drives their people to come, stay, and feel valued at work. We’re building a platform unlike any other. And our vision is that Knoetic becomes the one place that CPOs check each morning to get up-to-speed on their business and industry, and unlock their full potential.

We hope you'll join us for the ride.
