Founder story
Founded in 2013 by Oz Alon, Naama Alon, and Dror Shimoni. Inspired by Naama's experience running a small design business, the founders realized that independent workers spent more time on 'admin' than on their actual craft. They moved from Israel to San Francisco to build a platform that empowers the 'independent workforce' to thrive.
