What Jostle does

Jostle Corporation is a privately held Canadian software company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company sells a cloud-based Employee Success Platform positioned as a frustration-free alternative to traditional corporate intranets. The platform consolidates News, Activity feeds, Discussions, a document Library with Google Drive and OneDrive integration, a People Directory, Teams, Tasks, Events, Polls, and Listings into a unified workspace. The company reports serving more than 1,000 organizations globally and claims a median employee participation rate above 85%, roughly five times the sub-10% industry norm for traditional intranets. Its proprietary stack is protected by three granted US Patents and a pending application, and the platform extends to mobile applications, digital signage (JostleTV), email digest delivery, and a public REST API (Activity, Tasks, Discussions, SCIM-based Provisioning) with native single sign-on and provisioning via Okta and Azure AD.

The core commercial engine is a per-seat, annually billed SaaS subscription, with pricing customized to organization size and feature scope and not publicly disclosed. Jostle goes to market through a sales-led motion anchored on product demos and free trials, supplemented by a formal channel partner program (e.g., Emperor in the UK, onboarded in 2020) and a content-driven marketing layer that includes blog, webinars, ebooks, and customer case studies. The customer base spans airlines (Azul), government (La Guardia Airport, Destination British Columbia, City of Nelson), insurance (Greenshield), healthcare (American Academy of Dermatology), legal (Ashtons Legal), hospitality (Houlihan's), food service (M&G Pizza/Domino's franchise), and nonprofits (Plant with Purpose). The company reports 51-100 employees and has raised approximately $5.4M in disclosed funding across rounds in 2009, 2013, and 2014, with no public revenue disclosed. JostleAI, a text-based AI knowledge retrieval add-on launched as part of the core platform, is the most recent material product extension.
