Spekit, the brainchild of Pakistani powerhouse Zari Zahra and cofounder, Melanie Fellay, has an-nounced raising $45 million in Series B funding led by Craft Ventures, with participation from Felicis, Operator Collective, Matchstick Ventures, Rene-gade Partners, Foundry Group and Bonfire Ven-tures, as covered by Forbes.
The company is the leading platform for onboarding and training remote teams. Now, it becomes the first female-founded company to raise funding of this calibre in Pakistan, bringing the company’s total funds raised to $60 million.
With hubs in Karachi and Denver, the company is attracting top-tier technical talent in Pakistan, eager to join the mission to reinvent how we learn at work.
The company is rapidly expanding its pres-ence in Pakistan and looking for new talent across software engineering, leadership and more. Since raising a $12.2M Series A funding round in March 2021, the company has tripled its employee head-count and grown revenue more than 300% year-over-year.
Many of the world’s most innovative companies including Uber Freight, Snowflake, Out-reach, Invesco and Southwest Airlines rely on Spekit to empower their employees with real-time knowledge and training, without disrupting their day-to-day workflows.
“Mel and I started this journey with our founding engineering team in Karachi and, while we’ve since expanded across the US, it’s clear that Silicon Val-ley is no longer the only place where world-class products are built. A key to achieving our growth has been leveraging the immense talent across both nations to build a collaborative, high-caliber team.
