About Sayge:

Sayge is an NYC-based HR Technology startup that’s making an exec-level benefit – coaching – available to everyone. We work with companies to help them attract, develop and retain more of the best employees by democratizing access to the best 1:1 professional development coaching.

Founded in 2017, Sayge has already worked with thousands of employees at dozens of companies, and has had a huge impact on people’s lives. Indeed, 93% of employees say that they're better able to tackle their professional goals after just three months of working with a Sayge coach.

Our vision is that Sayge will soon be the first place people go to for guidance and support in their working lives. After recently being acquired by Bennie, a leading employee benefits platform, we’re now looking to expand our offering with employee training programs.
