Jobs boost for Sheffield as new technology hub is launched by Tribepad

Based in Sheffield, Tribepad Ventures will serve as an incubator and accelerator for new companies in the HR technology space.

As a non-executive director of Tribepad, Alex Raubitschek joins Tribepad founders Dean Sadler and Dan Kirkland on the board of Tribepad Ventures.

A spokesman said: “Tribepad Ventures aims to attract work tech businesses at the incubator and accelerator stages of their life cycles.

“Those businesses will receive advice to help refine their ideas, scale the technology and build out business plans. These businesses will also have access to seed capital, technical support, and business coaching. Work tech businesses in the early stage of growth will qualify for Tribepad Ventures’ accelerator support.”

Tribepad serves some of the UK’s best-known organisations including the BBC, Subway, Sodexo and Tesco.

Commenting on the launch of Tribepad Ventures, Mr Sadler said: “The UK economy has been hard hit by Covid-19.

"At the same time, we’ve seen huge changes in the way companies, large and small, operate. We’ve gone from occasional flexible working, to full-time hybrid models. And that’s thrown up huge challenges in how businesses manage and hire people.

"Through Tribepad Ventures we want to offer budding entrepreneurs our tech expertise, world leading enterprise-level technology, and anonymised data on millions of job applications to create the work-tech of the future.”
