Klaar, a performance management platform built by HR professionals, has officially launched in the United States following a $5 million Series A funding round led by Prime Venture Partners. The company plans to use the funding to support its U.S. market entry, onboard new clients, and continue scaling its AI-powered platform.
Performance management has long been a challenge for HR teams, with many leaders and employees expressing dissatisfaction with outdated systems. Klaar addresses these issues by offering a modern, intuitive solution that uses artificial intelligence to deliver predictive insights, unbiased feedback, and real-time performance tracking. The platform helps align company goals with individual and team objectives, making it easier to identify areas for improvement and support career development.
Klaar’s suite of tools includes goal setting and OKRs, performance reviews, one-on-one coaching support, automated calibrations for fair talent decisions, personalized development plans, and engagement surveys. These features are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows and business applications, reducing administrative burden while improving the quality and fairness of performance conversations.
Already adopted by companies like T-Mobile, Vidyard, Armstrong, and Zenwork, Klaar is helping organizations build high-performing teams and improve employee engagement. The platform is particularly well-suited for industries navigating hybrid and distributed work environments, where timely feedback and clear communication are essential.
With its expansion into the U.S., Klaar aims to set a new standard for performance management in sectors such as technology, finance, professional services, and manufacturing. The company reported that businesses using its platform outperform competitors by 23%, highlighting its potential to drive meaningful results.
