| AllWork | We help companies simplify how they onboard, manage, and pay all of their freelancers, contractors, consultants, and flexible workers across their entire organization. Covid-19 has rapidly accelerated the number of freelancers in the workforce and companies lack a purpose-built technology and payments platform to efficiently manage this newemployment model and the “Modern Workforce” whereby most estimates over 50% of the workforce will be classified as freelancers in the next five years.Today most companies struggle to manage their freelancers because they do it with email, spreadsheets, word docs, and lots of manual processes. Then they end up doing payment processing through PayPal, Bill.com, Venmo, or by cutting the checks themselves manually. It’s a really inefficient process and these generic payment platforms have no compliance or labor law intelligence built in so most companies are violating a number of worker classification and employment laws across multiple state and local jurisdictions. AllWork is a Total Freelancer Management platform that simplifies freelancer management and payments, ensures compliance, and enables companies to more efficiently run their businesses by leveraging the growing freelancer workforce. | $3.8M | Seed | Aug 04, 2019 |  |
