Y Combinator S15

What it does

We're a fast-growing Y-Combinator (S15) backed startup, based in New York. Hickory is the only training tool focused on retention, turning Sales and Customer Service staff into brand experts. The app predicts when a rep will forget what they’ve learned, and schedules review exercises tailored to their strengths and weaknesses to prevent that from happening.
