KarmaCheck, a technology-based solution for background checks, credentialing, and compliance, announced that it has raised $45 million in a Series B funding round led by Parameter Ventures, with participation from PruVen Capital, Velvet Sea Ventures, GC1 Ventures, and NextView Ventures.
The company will utilize the funding to accelerate the development of its proprietary technology platform, scale its exceptional service levels to more customers and candidates, and expand into new industries.
KarmaCheck was launched by Eric Ly, one of the co-founders of LinkedIn. And for over two decades, Ly has worked to remove barriers that stand between talent and professional opportunity. His commitment to this space led him to form KarmaCheck in 2019.
The Series B funding round follows a year of major milestones for KarmaCheck including:
1.) Revenue growth of over 600%
2.) Expansion of its customer experience team by more than 300%
3.) Delivery of millions of screenings
KarmaCheck’s platform provides the advanced technology that one would expect from such an industry pioneer. Staffing administrators benefit from intuitive, automated dashboards and built-in API integrations to applicant tracking systems. And candidates stay informed through a mobile-friendly interface and can easily schedule clinic-based screenings through the platform. These features lead to faster results, lower costs, and a better experience for both candidates and employers. Head-to-head comparisons have shown that KarmaCheck returns results up to three times faster than competitors with no loss of accuracy.
The company has seen a lot of demand for its solution in highly credentialed industries like healthcare, where speed-to-hire is a significant competitive advantage and traditional background check processes are time-consuming.
