Valuation is not top of mind for Workfam. We are looking for a strong and strategic partner that can add real value.
However, we are looking to raise around $600,000 in exchange for 20% of our company.
As the impacts of Covid-19 continue to have an effect on businesses of all shapes and sizes, it is certainly a risk that budgets are significant cut or reduced for Human Capital solutions. However, we do not believe this to be the case as spends on communication, collaboration and engagement tools are more important that ever as organizations continue to roll out work from home policies.
