What PepTalk does

PepTalk is a Dublin-based workforce insights SaaS company targeting construction and project-based industries. Its platform delivers real-time site intelligence by capturing continuous worker feedback through Check-In, SpotCheck, and Reporting modules, and surfacing it via Insights Report and PepTalk+ premium analytics. Underlying technology centers on aggregating text and structured survey data into morale scores, safety indicators, and operational signals, with claimed predictive-analytics and anomaly-detection capabilities that flag stress, burnout, and disengagement before incidents occur. The product is sold via a direct enterprise field-sales motion, priced on annual subscription contracts that are quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and is positioned into site safety, operations, and engagement use cases for large construction, engineering, and project-management buyers across Ireland, the UK, and (planned) the United States. PepTalk has raised approximately €4.2 million in disclosed seed funding to date (€1.2M in September 2021, €3M in December 2022 led by Venture Wave Capital), employs 11–50 people, and was founded in 2016 by James Brogan (CEO), Michelle Fogarty (COO), and Bernard Brogan.

Direct peers

• Workday Peakon Employee Voice: Workday Peakon Employee Voice is an enterprise engagement and listening platform integrated into Workday HCM. A broad incumbent serving similar employee sentiment use cases that PepTalk addresses in construction.

Emerging players

• 15Five: 15Five is a continuous performance management and employee engagement platform. Comparable to PepTalk on engagement feedback loops and pulse surveys, though focused on knowledge workers rather than frontline construction.
