Cornerstone OnDemand Announces First Series of Investments Through the Cornerstone Innovation Fund

SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cornerstone
OnDemand
 (NASDAQ:CSOD), a global leader in cloud-based talent
management software
 solutions, today announced the first series of
investments made through the Cornerstone
Innovation Fund
, the company’s strategic venture arm focused on
investing in and collaborating with the next generation of cloud
startups. The companies in the first series of investments include One
Month
, Rallyteam,
Strive,
and Workpop.

The Cornerstone Innovation Fund invests in early to growth stage
companies that have been identified for their transformative ideas in
and around talent management and have the potential to extend
Cornerstone’s ecosystem. As a strategic partner, Cornerstone provides
companies with mentorship, distribution, and resources to support the
development of their growing businesses.

The first series of Cornerstone Innovation Fund companies includes:

  • One Month, the first-ever online school for entrepreneurship,
    and the best place to learn a new technical skill online in just one
    month. The company offers a variety of award-winning online courses
    designed to help entrepreneurs quickly learn a new skill or software
    tool – such as Ruby, Python and Swift – within 30 days.
  • Rallyteam is a new type of talent networking platform that
    enables companies to better understand and utilize their most valuable
    assets – their people. Rallyteam intelligently matches employees to
    projects, tasks, ideas and people, enabling teams to quickly
    self-organize and companies to respond faster to change.
  • Strive automates the technical hiring process so companies can
    source qualified software developers, test their coding skills, and
    hire more effectively. In an increasingly competitive market for
    technical talent, Strive allows companies to access passive candidate
    pools through authentic engagement, while ensuring that the hiring
    process is effective and developer friendly.
  • Workpop connects service economy employers and candidates in a
    robust community to make the hiring process easier, friendlier and
    more fun. In a world that is still driven by walk-ins, paper
    applications, job boards, and outdated applicant tracking systems,
    Workpop believes there is a better way to pair employers and
    candidates.
