Why Shiftsmart

We’re building the Amazon of labor. We’re a labor platform pairing end-to-end workforce management technology with a rapidly growing global network of 3M flexible workers (ranked #3 in the App Store) to create scalable labor solutions for the largest companies and government agencies in the world like Walmart, Pepsi Co, Google, and Circle K. Our unique business model fractionalizes jobs down to shifts and makes it easy for workers to work across multiple employers through a digital marketplace.

We’re one of the fastest-growing scaleups in the country. We’ve grown 2-3x each year since we started and raised $120M+ from top-tier investors including D1 Capital & Imaginary Ventures… and we’re only getting started.

Our mission is to build the world’s leading platform for hourly workers and enterprises enabling flexibility, choice, and upward social mobility.
