Connecteam is a software company that makes a smartphone app for employers to communicate with, train and schedule "deskless" employees in industries such as retail, construction and manufacturing. It was founded in 2016 by Amir Nehemia, who had served as an officer in the Israeli Navy, with Daniel Nuriel and Yonatan Nuriel.[1] The company took part in the accelerator run by the 8200 Alumni Association, the association of former members of Unit 8200.[2]
Founders and military service
Forbes reported in 2021 that "As an officer in the Israeli Navy, Amir Nehemia found few things more frustrating than trying to communicate essential information to soldiers in the field", because troops away from desks could only be reached by phone. After leaving the Navy, according to the same report, he saw that blue-collar workers faced the same problem, and in 2016 he founded Connecteam with his friends Daniel Nuriel (CTO) and Yonatan Nuriel (vice president of research and development).[1] No published source found names a military or intelligence role for the Nuriels.
Connecteam is listed among the alumni of 8200 EISP, the entrepreneurship and innovation support programme of the 8200 Alumni Association.[2]
Funding and customers
In April 2021 Connecteam announced that it had raised $37 million from investors including Insight Partners, O.G. Tech and the leadership team of the Israeli software company Wix. Forbes reported that this brought the New York-based company's total funding to $40 million, at a valuation that Nehemia put at more than $100 million. It said the app served more than 10,000 customers, including Nike, Sodexo and SodaStream.[1]
