Re-imagining how enterprises connect with their people

It started with a small idea between friends. Our founders were sending notes of appreciation to parents, siblings, and the people they missed most. Real thank-yous to the people they wanted to keep close.

The idea grew up fast. Walking into enterprises around 2014, they kept seeing the same pattern: engagement was low, recognition was an afterthought, and the HR systems people relied on every day had no real way of saying thank you. So they built one.

Semos Cloud launched in late 2014 with the first modern, extensible cloud platform for enterprise recognition and rewards. One product, one stubborn belief: connection at work matters, and the technology should help it happen.

Ever since, the mission has grown. We added Communication, Listening, Talent Development. We connected them so data and moments could travel together. We earned native partnerships with SAP, Workday, and Oracle, so the work could live inside the systems enterprises already run.

Then we were building the next layer: Manager Agents, our agentic AI for managers. They surface context across the platform, suggest the right action at the right moment, and help managers lead with real evidence behind them on a Tuesday morning.

Recognition was where it began. People & Culture Intelligence is what we built it into.
