NEW YORK, May 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Opus, a training platform for businesses with a deskless workforce, today announced the close of a $6.8 million Series A funding round led by Stage 2 Capital. Existing investors including Gutter Capital, NextView Ventures, and Bling Capital also participated in this funding round. The funding comes on the heels of a $2 million round less than a year ago, led by Gutter Capital with participation from Chelsea Clinton's Metrodora. This Series A capital will help Opus confront the frontline worker shortage via the same AI technology that the majority of software companies are leveraging for desk-workers. It will also accelerate Opus' growth including the expansion of the engineering and go-to-market teams, the further development of the SaaS platform, and the integration into new industries.

Key Points: 
  • This Series A capital will help Opus confront the frontline worker shortage via the same AI technology that the majority of software companies are leveraging for desk-workers.
  • Businesses in the United States employ a total of 110 million deskless workers and make up relatively 70% of the overall workforce, yet they lack access to technology to help them do their jobs better.
  • Over 70% of Opus customers are switching from no software at all such as Shipley Donuts, & Pizza, and Salt & Straw.
  • "Training technology is not accessible to the majority of American workers, but we're changing that," said Rachael Nemeth, co-founder and CEO at Opus.
