First-of-its-kind incubator offers expertise,
development and accelerated growth
Mercer, a global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth,
and career, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan
Companies, Inc. (NYSE: MMC), today announced the creation of the
HRTech Incubator Program, a first-of-its-kind incubator launched in
collaboration with WeWork Lab, focusing exclusively on future of
work technology services.
With rapid developments in technology, the future of work has
never evolved so quickly. Mercer is at the forefront of helping
companies stay ahead. The Mercer HRTech Incubator was launched to
help incubate, support, and grow the next generation of workforce
innovation start-ups.
“Clients rely on Mercer to help create and maintain a thriving
workforce and as their needs evolve, they want to be regularly
exposed to new ways of thinking and to new tools and services,”
said Barb Marder, Global Innovation Leader for Mercer. The Mercer
Incubator will create an environment to deliver new solutions that
will help organizations thrive in the digital age and be
forward-looking.”
The inaugural class was selected from over 200 applicants and
includes:
- Vetty – a blockchain &
AI-based platform for employee vetting.
- Vantage Point – a virtual
reality-based training services provider.
- QLC – an online talent
development network for in- and externships.
- Learnerbly – a single-click,
SaaS-solution for enterprise learning programs.
- Retirety – a platform offering
employee benefits educational resources.
- Socrates – an enterprise
technology suite offering chatbot HR solutions.
Each participant undergoes an intensive partnership development
initiative early in the program to help refine their offering and
to help ensure the company’s value-proposition will resonate with
clients.
“At Learnerbly, we want to transform the process by which
companies upskill and reskill their employees,” said Rajeeb Dey,
Founder and CEO of Learnerbly. “Given Mercer’s stellar reputation
in the human resources space, we knew we would be an ideal match
for their incubator program. We are particularly enthused about
Mercer’s advanced insights into the future of work – which speaks
directly to the themes that we are addressing at Learnerbly.”
Mercer advisors also work with incubator companies on new
product development concepts and future market need identification
and assessments.
“The incubator program represents a significant commitment as we
continue to unite people and technology, while harnessing the value
of digital technologies such as blockchain and AI,” said Gail
Evans, Mercer’s Global Chief Digital Officer. “We have a heritage
of being collaborative and for looking at new avenues and
opportunities to empower and assist our clients, and this incubator
enables Mercer and our clients to co-create new and exciting value
propositions.”
Mercer HRTech Incubator Program participants also receive
ongoing support and benefits including, but not limited to:
- Mentorship and insights from Mercer’s
20,000+ team of industry professionals
- Product development and production
support
- Opportunity for future investment
participation
- Structured access to segments of
Mercer’s client base who have expressed interest in learning about
cutting edge HR technology solutions
“We’ve been through a few different accelerator programs. Those
were good, but they were done in a silo – they offered access to
mentors from outside the business, but it didn't put the voice of
the customer into the mix,” said Brad Heber, Head of Growth at
Vetty. “What was really interesting to us about Mercer was not only
their impressive subject matter expertise, but their reach into an
amazing set of customers who can offer us insights we won’t find
anywhere else.”
Upon completing the incubator program, each participant will
present at a joint solutions demonstration day and enterprise 2.0
summit. Summit attendees will include key executives within the
HRTech space who can comment on their services and provide
additional industry insights and business advice and potential
clients.
