    What We Do

    Hone is reimagining leadership, management and people-skills training for modern, distributed teams. With the world of work become more distributed every day, and the next generation of leaders taking the reins, we need to rethink how we develop our leaders and managers. Traditional corporate classroom training is inconvenient and ineffective (70% is forgotten within a day). E-learning is impersonal and ill-suited for interactive people skills training. Yet effective managers have one of the biggest impacts on team performance, engagement and retention.

    Hone is the first scaled platform and marketplace for live online, synchronous, instructor-led training classes for leadership, management and soft skills. Our unique solution allows organizations to source, manage and deliver live online video-based training and measure its impact.

    Why Join Us

    We're a startup with experienced founders (CEO Tom Griffiths co-founded gaming unicorn FanDuel; Savina Perez and Jeremy Hamel have built successfully acquired B2B HR Tech companies). We're backed by some of the top investors in Silicon Valley. And, we're on a mission to reimagine leadership education for the world's next generation of leaders. It's an exciting place to be, and joining at this early stage will be an incredible journey where you will have an outsized impact on our company, culture and customers.

    We lean in to distributed work (after all, our solution is powering remote training) so have flexible work from home (or wherever) policies.

    We're dedicated to building an exceptional experience for our learners (our founder/CEO has a product and technology background) and a fun, productive experience steeped in best practices for our product development team.
