Elite sports teams don't guess at performance. They measure everything that matters — the individual, the environment, and the relationship between the two — and they act on the data before problems become crises.
PowerUp brings that same systematic intelligence to growing organisations. We help founders, COOs, and People leaders retain their best talent and make people decisions with actual data behind them.
Most companies manage people performance reactively. They run an annual survey, respond to resignations, and make decisions based on instinct. By the time a problem is visible — a top performer burning out, a manager driving their team out, an engagement score quietly dropping — it has already cost the business.
The tools that exist today either measure sentiment (surveys) or develop individuals in isolation. Nobody has built a system that simultaneously develops the individual and optimises the organisation around them.
Until now.
PowerUp is a performance intelligence platform with two connected parts:
For every individual in your organisation:
Each employee completes a psychometric assessment analysing 70+ metrics across 9 dimensions — covering sources of stress, lifestyle habits, belief systems, coping capabilities, and the direct impact these have on their health and work performance. From this, PowerUp generates a personalised 12-week development plan including Daily Habit tracking, weekly check-ins, and structured development activities — all in under 30 minutes a week.
For leaders and People teams:
Individual data is aggregated and anonymised into 200+ organisational data points — powering proprietary indexes including Risk of Turnover, Motivation & Engagement, High Performance Culture, and Peak Performance. These aren't survey scores. They're root-cause insights: statistically validated drivers that tell you not just what is happening in your organisation, but why — and exactly where to act.
- No surveys. All data comes directly from the individual through their own development journey — which means it's richer, more honest, and more actionable than anything a survey can generate.
- Root-cause analytics. 90+ drivers designed to find the reason behind the reason.
- Whole-organisation impact. Most tools develop individuals OR improve culture. PowerUp does both simultaneously — because you cannot have one without the other.
- Built on 20 years of methodology. Not a new idea dressed up in a SaaS interface. A validated approach, tested across 10,000+ individuals, now available as a platform for the first time.
PowerUp is built for growing companies where the founder or People leader knows that performance is slipping but doesn't have the system to see why or fix it at scale.
If you're a founder who cares about your people as much as your product, this was built for you.
We're not fully self-serve yet — but we're onboarding early customers now to join the Q2 12-week accelerator with white-glove support from our founding team.
If you're a founder, COO, or People leader who wants to stop guessing and start leading with intelligence — we'd love to have you.
