Norwest Venture Partners led a $20m Series A round in Wisq.

Norwest Venture Partners, a venture capital firm, led a $20m Series A round in Wisq, a platform designed for the social connection needs of employees, with participation from True Ventures and Shasta Ventures. he decline in social well-being in the workplace was significantly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the cost to U.S. companies and their people is staggering. Wisq is tackling this problem head-on with a platform that employers and employees have been missing a mechanism to build social connections among our co-workers, no matter where they are. With a founding team from Glint that includes CEO Jim Barnett, who I worked with at three different ventures, Wisq is on an exciting mission to radically transform the way we work together," Jeff Crowe, Norwest Venture Partners Managing Partner.
