Twine
The future of work is here, according to Joseph Quan WG17 and Nikhil Srivastava WG17. While completing their MBAs, the pair dug deep into people analytics to create Twine, algorithmic HR software that helps companies hire from within and reduce staff turnover. Twine’s mission is to make internal mobility seamless within large companies—allowing employees to grow with their companies, rather than out of them—and save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in recruiting and training costs. A smart dashboard linked to employee data allows HR departments to quickly see which existing employees are a perfect fit for open roles. Winners of the Penn Wharton Startup Challenge Perlman Grand Prize and in the top 10 of Forbes’s Change the World Competition, Quan and Srivastava rang the Nasdaq closing bell this summer, alerting the business world to their arrival.
