StoryShare Platform logo(firmenpresse) - London, February 26th, 2019 - StoryShare, a leading SaaS Mobile Employee Experience Platform (EXP), today announced it has raised £1.15 million in growth finance led by Gresham House Ventures. StoryShare provides a SaaS platform to help large organisations, with diverse and mobile workforces, engage and develop employees anywhere, any time on any device.
Leading brands including Unilever, DLA Piper and Renault use StoryShare to help their employees love their work. Increasingly companies acknowledge that staff want to use the same type of technology they use at home at work.

They recognise the challenge of making enterprise applications as engaging as consumer apps, and a great list of customers are a testament to their success. We look forward to working closely with them, as well as the new chair Arlene Adams, to further deliver on the growth they’ve seen to date.”
