Vancouver’s Weave VC backs employee experience startup Wavy

Wavy — a culture management platform — has received new growth funding from Weave VC, with participation from previous investors Laconia Capital, Two Small Fish, and Backbone Angels. That money will help the startup to expand its offerings and support more customers.

Wavy was founded in 2020 by CEO Shawn Hewat and CTO Neshay Ahmed, who previously worked together at employee communication startup Nudge, before it was acquired by learning management system Axonify. The two felt that the old way of approaching company culture was stale and that they could bring something fresh, inclusive, and accessible. They also wanted to provide solutions for companies with distributed teams, which they believe businesses will continue to embrace. To date, Wavy has worked with the likes of Bench Accounting, 7shifts, Scribd, League, Shopify, TELUS, and more.
