Faster time-to-value during onboarding. 62% of churned accounts cited poor or slow implementation.

What would help you sell more?

What is our greatest untapped opportunity?

29

Launching a Data-as-a-Service business line. We're sitting on proprietary usage and benchmarking data that 70% of interviewed customers say they'd pay for as a standalone product.

Department Summaries

Sales — Reps losing 4+ hrs/week to manual CRM entry and disconnected lead data. Faster integrations and automated lead scoring are top requests.

41

Engineering — Deployment pipeline bottlenecks are the top friction point. Teams want faster CI/CD cycles and better staging environments.

36

Customer Success — Renewal conversations start too late. CSMs want earlier health score alerts and automated expansion playbooks.

The Problem

The most important information in your business is trapped in your employees’ heads.

Why: At 150+ employees, critical information is lost in layers of middle management.

The cost: Wasted time, late decisions, costly mistakes, and missed opportunities.

  • What are our biggest untapped opportunities?
  • What are our biggest risks & how do we mitigate?
  • How can we accelerate sales?
  • How do we operate more efficiently?
  • What’s blocked or blocking?
  • Where should we focus next?
  • What are bright spots worth scaling?
  • How do we improve employee engagement?
  • What & who should we celebrate?
  • What else does leadership need to know?

Every layer is a filter

  • Too busy to report upwards
  • Sharing bad news is career limiting
  • Important details lost in summarization
  • Hard to separate signal from noise

Wasted time

Team members waste time wrangling information vs. driving progress.

Late decisions

Made on partial facts, then revisited a quarter later when the rest surfaces.

Costly mistakes & missed opportunities

Both visible on your own frontline months before they ever reached you.

The Consequences

Organizations that missed important internal signals & what it cost them.

(a very, very small sampling)

  • BlackBerry 2007–2013

    Engineers saw the app ecosystem coming. Leadership bet enterprises would never give up the keyboard.

    20% → <1% market shareof the global smartphone market

  • Wells Fargo 2011–2016

    Branch staff flagged the sales quotas for years. It stayed inside the division — the board learned the scale of it from the news.

    $3B in penalties5,300 staff fired and the CEO gone

  • Nokia 2007–2013

    Middle managers knew Symbian couldn’t answer the iPhone. Saying so was career-limiting, so it was softened on the way up.

    50% → 3% market shareof the global smartphone market

  • NASA 1986

    Engineers argued for hours against launching in the cold. Their objection was overruled and never reached NASA’s senior managers.

    7 lives lostChallenger; the Rogers Commission found they’d not have launched if told

  • Target Canada 2011–2015

    Staff knew the inventory data behind the launch was wrong. Reporting it red was unwelcome, so the dashboards stayed green and 133 stores opened.

    Gone in 2 years$2B+ written off and 17,600 jobs

  • General Electric 2016–2018

    A culture of “success theater” meant bad news stopped travelling up. The board learned how bad GE Power was only after the CEO left.

    $193B in market valueand dropped from the Dow after 110 years

  • General Motors 2004–2014

    Engineers documented the ignition defect for a decade. The internal report blamed the “GM nod” — everyone agrees, nobody owns it.

  • Boeing 2014–2020

  • Xerox PARC 1973–1981

  • Circuit City 2007–2009

    3,400 of the highest-paid salespeople were cut to save wage cost. To the store managers they were the people who closed the sales; upstairs they were a payroll line.

    Liquidatedwithin 2 years, taking 34,000 jobs

The lesson: listen to the people closest to the action. That is exactly what Elevea helps leadership teams do.

Testimonials

Happy customers.
Real results.

"Elevea revealed insights that our leadership team was unaware of and led to increased conviction to make some important strategic decisions that are now propelling our business forward."
CEO ~100-employee company
"The ability to link goals and actions to the interview responses is incredibly helpful. It helps me make sure that these insights aren't dying in a spreadsheet somewhere, but that they're driving real action that I can track, all in one place."
Division President ~1K-employee company
"I haven't seen anything like this, period. I appreciate the ability this platform provides to mine executive-ready insights from employees with minimal friction and a human-in-the-loop approach."
COO ~1K-employee company
"The insights have been amazing. They have unlocked new realizations and key conversations for us that otherwise wouldn't have been had, and in other areas where I had a suspicion, Elevea has given me data to either support or refute it."
CEO ~100-employee company
"Senior management is extremely busy and may not fully know or understand what their front-line teams are faced with day in and day out. This platform gives them an opportunity to gain much needed insight."
Employee ~1K-employee company
"The platform has been fantastic, and I've been very impressed with how quickly you address suggestions and continue to improve it."
Chief of Staff ~100-employee company
"My only regret is that the things that the system has surfaced -- I wish I had done them sooner."
CEO ~100-employee company
"It lowers the friction for employees to share feedback and ensures leadership is regularly exposed to real 'on the ground' perspectives in a consolidated form, rather than relying on ad hoc escalation or anecdotal input. That can be especially valuable for identifying recurring themes over time."
Employee ~1K-employee company
"I mean, this product is awesome in terms of its capability and what it can do. In the past surveys that I've done have all been super manual."
Director of HR ~100-employee company
"It helps me as a CEO have a clearer picture on what the employees believe is important, which helps inform priorities and also helps me understand how best to communicate back."
CEO ~100-employee company
"Overall, this does feel like a useful mechanism for getting consistent, qualitative signal to leadership at scale especially because it creates a structured way to surface themes that might otherwise remain informal or fragmented across conversations."
Employee ~1K-employee company
"I like that I didn't have to type anything out. The voice-to-text mode made the process much easier."
Employee ~1K-employee company
"It forced department-level strategic conversations beyond tactical weekly meetings and company-wide engagement. Employees really appreciate that we're doing this."
Director of HR ~100-employee company

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Elevea uses AI to periodically interview your employees on the strategic and operational topics that matter most to leadership — much like a Chief of Staff or COO running skip-levels — then connects those ideas and perspectives to your organization's most important KPIs and goals, and turns that intelligence into McKinsey-quality leadership reports and a searchable company brain that understands both performance and the qualitative explanations, drivers, and blockers behind those results. The more interviews you run, the smarter it gets. It's like having a chief of staff with the collective wisdom of your whole organization, working around the clock to keep leadership focused on what most deserves your attention.

Enterprise search tools only retrieve what's already written down. But oftentimes the questions that matter most — what's blocking progress, our biggest risks, how to accelerate growth — aren't documented, and even when they are, it's a partial, disconnected picture you can't build strategy on. Elevea specializes in first party data and connecting that data to the KPIs & goals that matter most for your organization. Our AI proactively forces expansive thinking, collects the critical strategic information trapped in your employees' heads, and surfaces the most important findings, trends, and recommendations for leadership, continuously & autonomously.

Traditional survey tools ask static, context-unaware questions, make people type out their answers, and need a full-time administrator just to launch them and make sense of the results. And the action plans and goals they inspire end up in a separate system, disconnected from the intelligence behind them. Elevea goes deeper: it asks intelligent, context-aware questions and follow-up questions, makes responding effortless with voice AI, gathers and synthesizes everything autonomously and lets you chat with your data, and connects that intelligence straight to actions and goals — so your team isn't just learning, it's improving.

Yes. Elevea's AI agents run continuous, lightweight interviews and studies right inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email, so employees respond in the flow of work. Instead of a once-a-year survey, it's an Always-On pulse that keeps leadership's visibility current.

Yes. With Elevea, people can simply speak their answers instead of typing — roughly 5x faster — capturing the nuance a static, text-only survey would miss.

Yes. Elevea connects your company's quantitative intelligence — metrics, KPIs, OKRs, and goal progress — with its qualitative intelligence — the strategy, insights, and perspectives from across the company — into one unified view for leadership. So you not only know how everyone is performing, you also see the signals on what's driving or slowing that performance.

Elevea is purpose-built for companies with 150+ employees — the stage where skip-levels become "increasingly impossible," cross-functional information silos emerge, and leaders lose their direct pulse on the organization. If that sounds like you, you're in our sweet spot.

You can be set up and launching your first study in hours, with our team guiding you every step of the way. Typically new customers are reviewing leadership intelligence surfaced by Elevea within 1-2 weeks.
