(AUSTRALIA 2017)
Founded in 2009, Culture Amp is one of Melbourne’s biggest startup success stories. It empowers employee insights via a SAAS platform that allows technology firms to benchmark and monitor their employee engagement, experience and effectiveness. Their clientele includes 1700+ companies globally, from startups to Fortune 500s.
Culture Amp CEO Didier Elzinga said his company’s workplace analytics software was now used by the likes of Airbnb, Adobe, Slack and GoPro, with local clients including MYOB, SBS and five AFL teams.
"We started here in Melbourne, and while we’re now in San Francisco, New York and London we’re making a commitment that our biggest office will be in Melbourne. We’re now at 100 people globally and over the next five years we see no reason we can’t be similar to Atlassian sized company and have between 1000-2000 staff. We’re going to have hundreds of the world’s best engineers all working out of Melbourne building products for the best companies in the world, and we want to eventually be known not just as a great Australian company but a great company globally that happens to be based out of Melbourne."
The Victorian Government supported the business case development for the Australian operations.
