Founded in 2014, Faculty originated as a training program helping academics transition to data science roles. Now serving 300+ global customers with software, bespoke AI consulting, and fellowship programs, the company has raised over 40 million pounds from investors including The Apax Digital Fund, LocalGlobe, GMG Ventures LP, and Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn.

The Pilot Program

Taito.ai conducted a pilot with 70+ Faculty employees across people-facing, engineering, and client-facing teams during Autumn 2024. The solution enables Faculty to replace rigid annual review cycles with flexible, year-round performance management aligned with individual start dates, reducing administrative burden on managers while fostering employee ownership.

The Challenge

Faculty needed continuous performance management embedded in daily workflows—moving beyond quarterly reminders to enable meaningful development conversations based on current feedback rather than incremental cycle improvements that would overwhelm managers.
