So, after kicking off our PHA Tech 2020 list by shining a light onto five start-ups that we predict to make a splash this year. We swiftly move onto our next area of focus which this week is the world of business.
After our fintech #PHATech2020 launch we’re now taking a closer look at the start-ups that we think will on the ones to watch list this year. Each with a focus on how to make operating your business easier by harnessing the power of technology providing innovative ways to help streamline companies.
From a people management platform that helps fast-growing companies bring out the best of their employees, to a business which is determined to help enterprises attract, engage and retain top talent here is our list.
Based in New York but with offices in London, Montreal and Singapore is Al powered company Behavox. The concept of Behavox is to give forward-thinking, multi-national businesses primarily in the financial industry, a deeper understanding of what’s happening in their organisation.
Behavox’s pioneering software uncovers previously undetectable insights for businesses which help to protect their reputation whilst also maximising revenue generation by analysing a magnitude of structured and unstructured data opportunities. The first of two key aspects that Behavox’s platform offers is the reduced cost of compliance and tracks and measures corporate culture to strengthen teams and companies.
Founded in 2015, Hibob was created from an awareness that the world of work is changing. ‘Bob’ as it’s affectionately known, is a smart app which allows hundreds of businesses to create personalised benefits packages for their staff.
One of the benefits, for example, is a Perkbox integration which offers lifestyle perks such as cinema, retail and travel discounts all through a simple and efficient way to UK employees.
The innovating data solution has single-handedly helped numerous businesses from around the world not only to retrain but also attract potential employees.
Currently, Hibob has offices in London, New York and Tel Aviv and after five successful funding rounds (the last round in 2019 raised $20m) it won’t be long before new offices are popping up elsewhere.

The UK’s favourite parking app allows you to choose from millions of spaces across the country, reserve in advance at over 45,000 different locations, and pay straight away.

2019 certainly was a bumper year for Farewill, not only did they launch their probate and cremation service, but they also raised over £100m for charity and saw their team grow from 15 to 50 and formed major national partnerships with organisations across the charity, insurance and mortgage industries.
