🦄 Unicorner Startup of the Week: Bravely
 
 ✍️ Notes From The Editors  
Happy Monday! Cool news for those following the latest, greatest product launches: Product Hunt had its annual Golden Kitty Awards last week. A lot of interesting startups from a lot of different industries were showcased. Taking home the Product of the Year award was no-code tool Softr, which lets you build web apps using Airtable.

Our cover for this week, Bravely, has been in the startup world for some time now. It was initially featured by TechCrunch back in 2018 as a means of supporting employees who felt like HR departments had failed them. Its mission hasn’t changed; Bravely hopes to help both employees and companies improve. We hope you enjoy this article!

🔮 Our Analysis
It can be hard to navigate your career. Co-workers and bosses might not always be able to help you through difficult decisions. On the flip side, for managers, getting clear and sometimes hard-to-hear feedback from your employees might not be simple. Bravely is looking to fill that gap. The process is pretty straightforward. Companies purchase Bravely for their employees, who can then meet with Bravely’s “Pros” for one-on-one coaching sessions. Those sessions can help employees gain a neutral outside perspective to any challenges they might be facing at work. Bravely then condenses that information into generalized data for managers to learn from. By providing career support from certified professionals to employees and giving anonymous stats to managers, both employees and companies alike can follow a path toward improvement.

🎁 Bonus Content!
Figuring out the right kinds of hires for a startup isn’t an easy task. One role that’s on the rise (yet isn’t often spoken about) is the Chief of Staff position. It’s a position surrounded by a lot of mystery around its responsibilities, and for good reason: the role varies a lot from startup to startup. For that reason, we want to share a newsletter that interviews Chiefs of Staff from different companies to showcase their unique perspectives.
