INDIANAPOLIS and CHICAGO, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Yourco, the pioneering SMS-based platform designed to bridge the communication gap between non-desk employees—those who work in the field, on the plant floor, or frontlines rather than behind a desk to do their job— and the front office, successfully raised $2 million in a seed funding round. Indianapolis-based Ground Game Ventures led the round with additional support from Allos Ventures, Start Something Ventures, Elevate Ventures and Flywheel Fund. The investment will accelerate the company's mission to empower the 2.7 billion employees working outside an office setting with effective workplace communication and automation tools.

Key Points: 
  • Yet, these professionals often do not have the consistent, clear and accessible communication channels vital for long-term success.
  • A staggering 55% of these employees engage with internal communications fewer than once a month, leaving many invaluable workers disengaged and dissatisfied.
  • The brothers founded the business out of a need for stronger employee communications and automation tools to improve businesses' bottom lines.
  • "We initially built Yourco as a communication solution for my Grandparent's family print shop," said Brodie Meyer, co-founder and CEO of Yourco.
