Company

Better evidence for the work of developing leaders.

Naru is building an AI-native leadership-intelligence platform, beginning with vendor-independent measurement of leadership behavior over time.

Why Naru

A question the field kept asking.

Naru grew out of CoachFinder’s work in executive coaching. The people who fund leadership development kept asking the same question: what changed, for whom, and did it stick?

Participation and satisfaction data could not answer it, and no provider is well placed to grade its own work. Naru is our answer: an independent view of progress across the coaches, assessments and programs an organization already uses, with the strength of the evidence made clear.
