Five Elms Capital, a private equity firm, completed the $56m investment in 10KC, a software company. "As an LGBT+ entrepreneur who grew up in a small, rural town, I experienced firsthand that connections and mentors were critical to opportunities and belonging. That's why we built 10KC. Since inception, it's been our mission to use technology to build more inclusive work environments and this funding from Five Elms Capital reinforces the need for connectivity in a hybrid, decentralized world. I'm thrilled to help more employers provide their teams with all-in-one mentoring, employee connectivity and skills development solutions," Dave Wilkin, 10KC CEO and co-founder.
