Thoughtful Automation Raises $5M Seed Round to Automate Soul-Crushing Work and Improve Employee Happiness – GlobeNewswire

CHICAGO, Sept. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thoughtful Automation, the first and only cost-effective automation-as-a-service platform for mid-market companies, today announced a $5 million Seed funding round. The round was led by Columbus-based venture capital firm Drive Capital.

Thoughtful Automation provides mid-market companies with a digital workforce management platform that offers customization, implementation, and continued monitoring and optimization of digital workers (or bots). As companies across the healthcare, legal, and financial services industries continue to grapple with labor shortages and decreasing employee satisfaction with manual work, Thoughtful Automations digital workers provide a much-needed boost to companies struggling to fill back office roles while also freeing up staff for higher value and more fulfilling work.

Digital workers are transforming large enterprises, but until now, mid-market companies have been priced out, said Alex Zekoff, cofounder and CEO of Thoughtful Automation. Thoughtful Automation helps mid-market companies rapidly introduce digital workers, becoming more productive and freeing up staff for more engaging and higher value work. The platform is easy to use and has a fast onboarding experience with 300% return on investment in the first year alone.

With Thoughtful Automations platform and digital workers, mid-market companies can:

"Ultimately, our vision is to open our platform to other automation developers. We want to build trust and transparency between humans and their digital co-workers," added Zekoff.

The seed funding will be used to expand Thoughtful Automations platform and further develop offerings and capabilities to support business automation for middle market companies. The company also recently relocated to Chicagos West Loop neighborhood from San Francisco.

Software automation is an entirely new category of work, and just like the traditional work done by people, work handled by software needs to be managed and optimized," said Nick Solaro, Partner at Drive Capital. "Thoughtful Automation understands this new work paradigm and their solution is making software automation accessible, affordable, and easy to deploy for mid market companies."
