Arjun Vora and Tito Goldstein, former Uber employees, noticed a gap in HR software when it came to managing hourly workers. Many of these workers didn’t have tools to perform basic tasks such as clocking in or updating payment details. After gathering insights from hundreds of Uber drivers, Vora, a former Salesforce product designer, and Goldstein, previously the lead designer at Hyperloop, decided to create a platform to address these needs.
“Businesses need to modernize their technology stack,” Vora said. “They need to attract, engage, and retain workers in ways similar to gig economy platforms that often lure their employees away.”
Their platform, TeamBridge, streamlines HR processes while offering hourly employees a user-friendly app. TeamBridge helps with tasks like onboarding and managing time-off requests through customizable templates and workflows. The app, which businesses can tailor to their needs, allows workers to view and claim shifts, sign legal documents, and communicate with managers via text.
Companies can subscribe to the core TeamBridge service and pay extra for additional self-service and workflow features.
“We offer the ‘LEGO blocks’ that companies can use to create flexible HR workflows and custom mobile apps,” said Vora, who serves as TeamBridge’s CEO.
The gig worker HR software market is competitive, with players like Wingspan, Kronos, Deputy, and Homebase. However, San Francisco-based TeamBridge is making waves, with 100,000 hourly workers using the platform and clients such as Convo and Dairy Queen.
TeamBridge’s revenue tripled last year, the year after it launched, and more than doubled again in the first half of 2024, according to Vora.
“When demand is high, our clients need help scaling their operations efficiently,” Vora explained. “During slower periods, they look for automation to cut costs. TeamBridge’s ability to meet both needs allows us to adapt to changing market demands.”
To fuel its growth, TeamBridge recently secured $28 million in Series B funding, led by Mayfield and supported by General Catalyst and Abstract Ventures. This brings their total funding to $41.5 million. The new funds will go toward product development and expanding the company’s 42-person team over the next year, Vora said.
