About Hive: Hive is a highly flexible, agile and scalable cloud-based solution that provides an always-on approach to understanding, measuring and improving employee engagement within an organisation. It is the first product to be launched out of Visualsoft’s Innovation Lab, the incubator department of the award-winning software company based in the North East. Founded in 2015 by the Head of Innovation at Visualsoft, John Ryder and supported by an experienced advisory board, comprising members of Visualsoft and other business leaders, Hive successfully raised £300,000 during a funding round on equity crowdfunding and co-investment platform, GrowthFunders, via a mix of retail, professional and institutional investors.
