Bonusly has been in business since 2013, when founder and CTO Raphael Crawford-Marks seized the opportunity to reinvent the way employers, employees, and colleagues recognize and reward their team members.  

“I knew that, in order to be successful, companies would be shifting their approach to employee experience, and I thought software could enable that shift,” Crawford-Marks told TechCrunch in 2020.    

“Bonusly was this elegant idea of empowering employees to give each other timely, frequent, and meaningful recognition that would not only benefit employees because they would feel recognized but also surface previously hidden information to the entire company about who was working with whom and what strengths they were bringing to the workplace.”
