Rising Team was deployed across Fanatics Commerce's globally distributed CTO organization to help managers develop in context and around real situations they face.

Rising Team is a team performance platform that equips leaders to boost employee engagement, build deeper trust and connection, and enhance both manager and team effectiveness. Its software empowers managers to effortlessly lead interactive team sessions at the touch of a button, whether remote or in person, without the need for external facilitators. Sessions, lasting anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, cover essential leadership and connection topics, equipping teams with new skills and insights to collaborate more effectively. The AI coach, aRTi, offers personalized coaching, recommendations, and scripts for managers and team members, drawing from science-backed leadership best practices and unique insights gathered from each participant’s responses during Rising Team sessions. Top companies, including many in the Fortune 500, trust Rising Team to develop stronger managers and foster more engaged, resilient teams. Customers report significant improvements, with 20-100% increases in employee engagement, psychological safety, eNPS, and manager effectiveness. Founded in 2020 by Jennifer Dulski, Rising Team has raised over $11 million in funding, including an $8 million Series A led by Zeal Capital Partners, with participation from previous investors such as Female Founders Fund, Peterson Ventures, Roble Ventures, Burst Capital, Supernode Ventures, 500 Startups, Xoogler Ventures, and several angel investors.
