HireVue founder and CEO Mark Newman will speak candidly about the company’s latest $25 million financing round during an interview next week. O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures’ Bryce Roberts will interview Newman at the Leonardo in Salt Lake City on Dec. 10 at 6 p.m.
In October, the company said it raised $25 million from Sequoia Capital, Kickstart Seed Fund and other investors.
The South-Jordan-based human resource software company has 20 of the Fortune 100 and 70 of the Fortune 500 companies as clients. The company is focused on building out horizontally across talent management. The main offering allows companies to screen job applicants online using video interviews. The whole process aims to help companies move away from just screening by resume filter and by getting to know the candidate.
From Bryce Roberts:
On Tuesday, Dec 10th from 6–8pm we’re turning off the cameras and closing the doors for an extremely candid and open conversation with Mark Newman, CEO of Hirevue.
During this session we’ll get into the nitty gritty details of their recent $25M funding from Sequoia Capital. We’ll walk through the pitch deck, look at the company’s financials and metrics, we’ll even get into the personalities and dynamics which led to multiple term sheets from top tier venture capital firms.
If you’ve ever wanted to be a fly on the wall on Sand Hill Road, here’s your chance. If you’ve ever wondered how much progress you need to show or how to tell your story to get VCs attention, here’s your chance. Also, if you’ve ever wanted to meet one of my favorite founders in SLC, here’s your chance.
I’ve had the good fortune of knowing Mark since the very earliest days of Hirevue. That front row seat has allowed me to watch him grow as a person as he’s grown his business. If you know him well, you’ll know why the recent $25M raise from Sequoia Capital comes as no surprise. He’s a treasure trove of insights and experiences every local founder can learn from. And someone all should have in their personal network.
