A $12.0M Seed round has just closed for Windmill, the startup behind a performance review system designed to be genuinely liked by employees. The investment, backed by Inspired Capital, Primary Venture Partners, Founder Collective, and Oceans Ventures, signals strong confidence in Windmill's AI-driven approach to a traditionally dreaded HR task.
Windmill's platform synthesizes year-round feedback and project work, allowing reviews to largely write themselves through quick Slack prompts. This method has reportedly slashed review cycle time by 83% and boosted employee satisfaction to 93%.
