Agora Announces Acquisition by Payscale

Today, we’re excited to announce Agora has been acquired by Payscale, one of the leading compensation data, software, and service providers. 

‍

We started Agora a little over two years ago with the mission to demystify compensation. We’re proud of the products we’ve built that break down barriers in communication between compensation decision makers and employees and candidates trying to understand their pay. 

‍

Payscale is closely aligned with our mission, values, and culture and shares our commitment to promoting pay transparency and fairness. By joining forces with Payscale, we’ll have the opportunity to fulfill and amplify our mission at a new scale that was not possible before.

‍

Agora will continue to grow and do what we do best: develop software that makes compensation exciting, straightforward, streamlined, and transparent. We’ll leverage Payscale’s market expertise, internal resources, and broad compensation management tools to improve our offerings while dramatically increasing our customer base.

‍

We are so grateful to our customers for their feedback and advocacy, to our investors for their support and guidance, to our advisors for their time and advice, and to our team for their hard work and passion – we could not have reached this point without any of them. 

‍

This is the start of a new chapter in Agora’s story – we could not be more thrilled to have Payscale as a partner on our mission to demystify compensation. There are so many opportunities that have just opened up, so stay tuned for what’s next.
