Hive makes beeline for success with key hire

Employee engagement startup, HiveHR Ltd, originally spun out from award-winning North East-based ecommerce company, Visualsoft. The cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service proposition is the first business to launch from Visualsoft’s Innovation Lab, an incubator division which utilises Visualsoft’s talent, ideas, and transferable knowledge to ideate, launch, and grow new technology startups.

Currently live and raising capital on GrowthFunders, Hive have gotten their funding campaign and growth journey off to a great start, focusing on software and business development.

HiveHR Ltd reached another milestone last week as the company hired its first dedicated employee.

Jamie Burnip, a PHP Software engineer, joined the business to help Visualsoft CTO, Matt Burton, complete final stages of development on the software ready for beta testing later this month.

“I’m really excited to have joined Hive. I was attracted to the exciting nature of the product and was drawn to the vision that John and the senior team at Visualsoft have for Hive.”

As Hive prepares for launch in November, Founder and Managing Director, John Ryder, is now working on Hive on a full-time basis, having recently left his post as Head of Innovation at Visualsoft.

“I’ve really enjoyed my role as Head of Innovation but it was time to concentrate wholly on Hive. New business development has been really positive over the last few weeks and focussing on Hive means that I now have even greater scope to build on that in the build up to going live.”

Hive is currently raising capital on online equity crowdfunding and co-investment platform, GrowthFunders. To find out more about the investment opportunity’s background and funding round, please visit GrowthFunders.
