Wethos AI, the workplace dynamics improvement firm started by OC tech entrepreneur Stuart McClure, said it has raised $7.5 million in a seed funding round.
The financing was led by Jeff Herbst at GFT Ventures of Palo Alto, with other investors including Miramar Digital Ventures of Corona del Mar, UCI Cove Fund and Capellas Partners of Atlanta.
Newport Beach-based Wethos AI, founded in 2023, uses artificial intelligence to make insights about employees based on their work habits and behavior, then gives suggestions on how to improve performance.
It’s the latest venture from McClure, co-founder of internet security company Cylance Inc., which he sold to Canada-based BlackBerry Ltd. (NYSE: BB) for $1.4 billion in 2019.
