Klaar, the AI-powered performance management platform, has raised $5 million in Series A funding led by Prime Venture Partners. The company also announced its official U.S. launch, aiming to transform HR and performance management across industries. The new investment will drive go-to-market efforts, client onboarding, and continued scaling.

Performance management remains a critical challenge for many HR leaders. A recent study shows 98% of CHROs are dissatisfied with current tools. Employees share similar views, with only one in five reporting that reviews are fair or inspire growth. Klaar addresses this gap with predictive, AI-driven performance tools that deliver unbiased feedback and actionable insights. The platform aligns company goals with teams and individuals, helping businesses boost performance and career development.

Features of Klaar’s AI Performance Platform

Klaar offers a suite of capabilities designed to modernize HR workflows:

  • Goals & OKRs: Keep teams aligned with measurable outcomes
  • Reviews & 1:1s: Streamline ongoing feedback and coaching
  • Calibrations: Enable fairness with AI-backed evaluations
  • IDPs & Competencies: Build leadership pipelines with development plans
  • Surveys & 360s: Capture holistic views of performance and engagement

The platform integrates directly into daily apps and workflows, reducing complexity for HR teams. Real-time insights minimize bias, ensure equity, and enable faster decision-making across organizations.

“Klaar powers meaningful conversations that help leaders coach employees effectively,” said Lana Peters, Chief Revenue and Customer Experience Officer at Klaar. With more than 25 years of HR tech experience, Peters emphasized Klaar’s ability to improve talent development and foster strong workplace cultures.

Sharthok Chakraborty, Co-Founder and CEO of Klaar, added: “We built Klaar to solve the frustrations HR professionals face with outdated tools. It is a platform HR teams actually want to use.”

Growing Adoption Among U.S. Enterprises

Klaar is already supporting leading organizations, including T-Mobile, Vidyard, Armstrong, and Zenwork. Early adopters credit the platform with driving growth, fairness, and efficiency in performance conversations.

“Klaar has completely changed how we approach performance,” said Seth Givens, HR Director at Zenwork. “It provides clear insights, helps managers focus on growth, and enables us to build high-performing teams.”

As hybrid and distributed work models evolve, Klaar enters the U.S. market at a pivotal moment. HR leaders face rising pressure to retain talent, boost engagement, and maintain productivity. By combining deep HR expertise with AI-powered capabilities, Klaar sets a new benchmark for performance management in industries such as technology, finance, manufacturing, and professional services.
