In the midst of a funding crapshoot for young startups, The Grand, a four-year-old startup that provides career coaching as a service, has raised $4.7 million in a round of seed funding led by Alexis Ohanian's Seven Seven Six.
You could say founders Anita Hossain Choudhry and Rei Wang had a leg up on creating the pitch deck they used to convince venture capitalists to back their startup.
The goliath of coaching startups is BetterUp, a startup that offers individual and group coaching and has raised $600 million in funding so far.
The Grand is now walking in lockstep with roughly 1,000 members, including Googlers, founders, and pro athletes.
