They have 130 active customers including Toyota, BMW, ABInBev, Hilti, Lufthansa, Volkswagen and PWC.

Our Partnership

Supporting the founding team and enabling significant development in employment brand, hiring methodology, and talent assessment was fundamental to enable Prewave to assemble a leadership team appropriate for rapid international expansion. Our collaboration focussed on addressing needs in both go-to-market and finance through the appointments of a VP Global Sales and a Finance Director. Strengthening these core functions in the context of an ultra-high growth vertical with strong regulatory tailwinds and a new category proposition was vital to our partnership, setting up Prewave for a rapid period of expansion.
