"Headcount accounts for up to 70% of a company's operating expenses, yet it's entirely managed in spreadsheets," says Tushar Makhija, Co-founder & CEO at TeamOhana. "Our purpose is to empower fast-growing companies with a strategic and effective headcount management platform so they can achieve their business goals faster. We're excited to partner with Sierra and our angels as we continue to improve our product and grow our team globally."

TeamOhana is introducing its real-time headcount statistics function at the same time as this fundraising round. To display the present and projected headcount, the functionality combines previously segregated data from many systems into a single customised dashboard. With real-time access to their headcount budgets, people executives can now plan their organisations' strategies more successfully.

"At Sierra, we invest in exceptional entrepreneurs building the next generation of enterprise apps," says Vignesh Ravikumar, Partner at Sierra Ventures. "TeamOhana is a prime example of modern software that can enable business functions to become strategic rather than reactive. Their product provides companies with the necessary data and processes to make effective and data-driven decisions about their headcount.
