Legion’s founder aims to close the gap between what employers and workers need


Legion, a workforce management platform leveraging AI, has raised $50 million in a venture capital round of funding.

His venture, Legion, today announced it raised $50 million in funding led by Riverwood Capital with participation from Norwest, Stripes, Webb Investment Network and XYZ. Legion is designed to support customers — employers like Cinemark, Dollar General, Five Below and Panda Express — in managing their hourly staff by automating certain decisions, like how much labor to deploy where and when to schedule workers. Legion, which makes money by charging subscriptions calculated by the number of hourly workers a company employs, plans to put its recently-raised capital toward growing its 200-staffer workforce with a focus on expanding R&D and customer-facing teams and launching go-to-market efforts in Europe.
