Mesh

Mesh is an AI-native performance management and enablement platform designed to help organizations improve goal execution and increase high-performer density through continuous coaching, AI-driven nudges, and structured performance workflows. The platform positions itself as the "World's First AI-Native Performance Management Platform" and focuses on moving organizations beyond periodic, form-driven performance cycles toward ongoing performance conversations supported by AI. At the core, Mesh provides comprehensive modules for Goals/OKRs, Performance Reviews & 360s, Calibrations, Continuous Feedback (Praise & Advice), 1:1 meetings, and development planning. The platform's AI layer—branded as "Maven"—delivers real-time coaching and recommendations on the quality of goals, feedback, and performance conversations, contextual nudges to encourage timely check-ins and feedback habits, and an AI assistant chatbot. The Maven AI Coach provides personalized performance enablement support integrated into the flow of work through Slack and Microsoft Teams. Mesh emphasizes real-time insights by combining performance signals and employee data into manager-facing views that identify risks, visualize trends, and recommend development actions. The platform operates on a social-media-style interface rather than traditional HR forms, making it more accessible for continuous engagement. Key capabilities include automated goal alignment, weighted OKR scoring, 360-degree feedback loops, auto-populated 1:1 agendas with meeting summaries, and modular insights dashboards with data download capabilities. Founded in 2020 by Saurabh Nangia, Gaurav Chaubey, and Rahul Singh, Mesh is a Y Combinator S20 graduate that has raised $16M in total funding, including an $11M Series A led by RTP Global in April 2022. The company maintains dual headquarters in San Jose, California and Gurugram, India, with 101-200 employees. Mesh was acquired by Netchex, though continues to operate as a standalone product. The platform offers transparent tiered pricing: Foundations ($4/employee/month), Growth ($8/employee/month including Maven AI assistant), and Excellence ($12/employee/month with advanced analytics and coaching). All plans require annual upfront payment with a $6,000 minimum annual contract. Mesh is best suited for mid-market and enterprise organizations (51+ employees) seeking to operationalize continuous performance management practices while retaining structured review cycles and calibration capabilities. Compliance and security are strong with GDPR compliance, SOC 2 Type 2 certification, and ISO/IEC 27001 certification documented in their Trust Center. The platform integrates with major HRIS systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday), communication tools (Slack, Microsoft Teams), and provides SSO capabilities.
