BetterUp is a workplace coaching and development platform that pairs employees with professional coaches for live, personalized one-on-one video sessions focused on leadership, management, resilience, and career growth, and adds always-on AI coaching that meets workers within the apps they already use. It layers in assessments, progress tracking, and performance intelligence that connects people investment to business metrics like manager effectiveness, attrition, and productivity. Sold to enterprises, it is organized into four offerings — BetterUp Lead, Manage, Grow, and Ready — spanning executives, managers, and the broader workforce.

InterviewSpark is an AI-powered interview coaching platform that puts job seekers, students, and career changers through realistic mock interviews drawn from a library of 1,000+ curated questions across industries and roles. It analyzes your speech patterns and delivery to deliver instant, actionable feedback with performance metrics and progress tracking. Unlike employer-side recruiting screeners, it's built for the candidate side — helping individuals rehearse and improve their communication and confidence before the real interview.
