Kahilla, a company focused on leadership development, has announced it has secured $1.9 million in investment capital. Founded in 2018, Kahilla's mission is to bridge the "Power Skill gap" and provide tools, resources, and networks to mid-career professionals. The company offers scalable and effective leadership development solutions designed to help organizations build diverse talent pipelines and enable individuals to achieve their full leadership potential.
At the core of Kahilla's operations are principles of empowerment, inclusivity, and accountability. The company demonstrates a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, notably through its "Step Up, Reach Down" program. This initiative allocates 10% of all corporate memberships to support charities that uplift underrepresented minorities. Since its launch in 2019, the program has provided over $1 million worth of memberships to diverse groups, nonprofit executives, and individuals in career transition, enhancing access to Kahilla's resources. Additionally, Kahilla pledges to donate 1% of its profits to charities dedicated to equity.
This funding round represents a significant step for Kahilla as it continues to expand its impact in the professional development sector. The newly secured capital will be strategically deployed to support the company's growth initiatives. Plans include expanding its platform capabilities and enhancing its suite of offerings to address the evolving needs for leadership development and greater diversity within senior leadership roles.
Kahilla aims to further its journey in making senior leadership more representative of the world's diversity. The company is positioned to continue its work in breaking down barriers and fostering a professional environment where diversity is celebrated and success is accessible to all.
