Enterprise organizations like Assurance IQ, Amazon, and Walmart, high-growth tech companies like Expensify and Seesaw, and the Department of Defense, partner with Instant Teams for "instant" access to pipelines of remote, skill ready talent in customer support, sales, data analytics and operational support roles.

"We are flipping the talent sourcing model from posting jobs and getting applicants to building streamlined processes with community based pipelines enabling organizations to scale," said Liza Rodewald, CEO and co-founder of Instant Teams. "Our partnership with Tiger fuels our innovation and leadership in the labor marketplace industry and moves us to become the largest employer and provider of military spouse talent globally."

Instant Teams' impact to date:

Over $17.5 Million in revenue generated for remote employment of military families
Over $1 Million in state and federal funding for remote workforce development
92% of employed workforce consists of those who identify as female
52% of employed workforce consists of those who identify as part of a minority group
Over 1 million hours of remote work generated for the military spouse community since 2017

"Instant Teams' ability to scale and generate revenue in the labor market with their innovative technology, while creating daily social impact, is a win-win situation," said Sam Harland, Partner, Tiger Global. "Liza and Erica are building a unique platform and we're thrilled to partner with them on the next stage of the journey."

Fueled by utilization of untapped talent from the military connected community, the growing normalization of remote work on integrated teams, paired with the timely release of their remote team marketplace pipelines, Instant Teams will be driving into 2022 with customer growth, strategic key hires, and community-based initiatives at the helm.
