About Leapsome
The Berlin-built people enablement platform that holds reviews, OKRs, engagement, learning and comp in one record.
Leapsome was founded in 2016 in Berlin by Jenny von Podewils and Kajetan von Armansperg, who still run the company together as co-CEOs. The platform was bootstrapped and profitable for its first six years, then took its first outside investment in March 2022 from Insight Partners with Creandum and Visionaries Club. That capital opened a New York office and pushed expansion into the United States, while the engineering and product centre stayed in Berlin. Customer logos lean into the European mid-market and global scale-up sweet spot the platform was built for: Spotify, Northvolt, Workato, Babbel, Bumble, Sony, Fender.
The product covers the full people-enablement scope a 200-to-3,000-employee company expects from a single platform: performance reviews and 360 feedback, goals and OKRs, engagement surveys with driver scores and eNPS, instant feedback and praise, one-on-one and team-meeting agendas, learning paths and courses, and compensation cycles with calibration. An HRIS layer sits underneath for the people record, documents, time-off and onboarding, so engagement signals live next to the directory rather than in a separate platform. Pulled into a warehouse next to your HRIS, your CRM and your finance system, the Leapsome record finally answers questions a Leapsome view alone does not: which managers ran review cycles on time per business unit, which teams show an engagement-driver dip three months before the resignations land, and where learning uptake and promotion outcomes are pulling in opposite directions.
