## About

Founded in 2019 by CEO Joris Luijke and based in Sydney, Australia, Pon HQ Pty Ltd developed the Pyn app, a communication platform designed to convey important information regarding the workplace such as personalization, scheduling, and automated triggering. In February 2021, Pon HQ Pty Ltd raised USD 8 million in seed funding led by investor Andreessen Horowitz with participation from Accel and Skip Capital.

The application helps to personalize the internal employee communication in an enterprise. Pyn brings personalization by tracking information in existing HR systems that companies already use, such as Workday, BambooHR, Salesforce, or Zendesk, and the application can use this data in the same way a marketer uses various types of information to send more personalized messages to customers. Pyn helps to cut down on the company-wide emails that might not be relevant to everyone and send messages that should matter more to the people receiving them. It also provides a feature to track how many people have opened the emails.

Pon HQ Pty plans to use the funding raised in the seed round to enable the company to service the urgency created by the move to hybrid working environments.
