Business Analyst Zeitworks Comes Out of Stealth

In Seattle and Los Angeles, business process analysis start-up Zeitworks has emerged out of stealth with a $4.5m seed round of investment, which it will use to build its engineering and product teams while bringing its product to market.

Currently only available to select pilot customers, Zeitworks is developing an SaaS platform that uses machine learning to discover, analyze, and improve customers' business processes, without interrupting users or requiring system integrations. Using proprietary technology and real-world data, the solution learns from human behavior to find insights in business process execution step-by-step, through the paths workers take in the course of ordinary work.

Seed funding has been led by Madrona Venture Group, with participation from JAZZ Venture Partners and Spencer Rascoff, co-founder of Zillow and dot.LA. Zeitworks CEO Ryan Windham (pictured) comments: 'Now more than ever, businesses are under enormous pressure to be more efficient, but the work that teams do has been a black box; impossible to measure, let alone improve. With our innovative software solution, we can shine a light on all the work that gets done by teams within the enterprise - to not only show the bottlenecks but also drive improvements in real-time'.
