The Sound of Truth
Anonymous employee feedback that leaders can finally trust. AI-powered insights delivered in real-time.
The Landscape
Every Crisis Starts with Silence.
$8.8T
Annual Cost of Disengagement
The global economy loses $8.8 trillion annually to employee disengagement, representing 9% of global GDP lost to broken communication systems.
Current data underscores the truth that employees and leaders are suffocating in the silence of systems that have failed to allow truth. The problem is that the systems designed to hear them were never built for truth.

The Enemy
The Structural Flaws of Traditional Feedback
Annual Surveys
Lagging Indicators
Annual cycles measure past events, allowing critical issues to escalate for months before they are visible to leadership.
Email & App Fatigue
20% Open Rates
Employees ignore yet another dashboard. Critical feedback never reaches leadership because the channel is clogged.
Fear of Retaliation
67% Silent Exits
Majority of employees who quit never told anyone why. Silence is their safety mechanism in unsafe systems.
Actionable Intelligence Gap
Lagging Indicators
Leadership receives metrics disconnected from operational reality, leading to decisions based on lagging, incomplete data.
Result: 66% of HR executives cite retention as their top challenge, yet they operate blind.
The Great Hero
The People Bearing the Risk
The Employee
Disconnected & Voiceless
47%
of remote workers feel disconnected, requiring a trusted channel where honesty carries no risk.
The Leader
Blind-Sided & Exposed
Blind
Executives require a clear signal delivered in real time to make high-stakes decisions, mitigating risks before they escalate to departures.
LoopSync exists to serve both: giving employees a voice and giving leaders the clarity to act.

Our Moat
The Team
A Team Obsessed with Building Trust
Nick Bonniksen
Founder & CEO
"The best companies aren't built on silence. They're built on trust, honesty, and the courage to hear what others won't say out loud."
Nick built Coro from a conviction that organizational silence is a structural failure. His background spans systems design, leadership advisory, and high-stakes environments where the cost of poor communication is measured in real consequences.
Why This Team Wins: The architecture is a direct result of the founder's experience with the structural failures of legacy communication systems.
