WorkWhile的稳定性赌注：摒弃“零工”标签，提供稳定的小时班次，服务超100万工人

做的是什么生意

An hourly-labor marketplace that matches workers to shifts across warehouses, last-mile delivery, events, food production and hospitality; workers pay nothing and businesses pay a percent fee.

启动资金：$13M Series A (Feb 2022); $23M Series B (Jun 2025)

起因

Jarah Euston and Amol Jain founded WorkWhile in 2019 in San Francisco after Euston saw that most labor marketplaces misread what hourly workers wanted. On WorkWhile, she said, 80% of workers want more than 30 hours a week and 60% want 40 or more; 'we don't ever use the word gig... we want to be viewed as the best place to earn a stable paycheck.'

经过

WorkWhile raised a $13M Series A in February 2022 led by Reach Capital, with Khosla Ventures, F7 and others, live in 13 markets from the Bay Area to New York. It reported a 5% no-show rate and 76% accuracy at predicting whether a scheduled worker shows up, charging businesses a percent fee and workers nothing. In June 2025 it closed a $23M Series B led by Rethink Impact with Khosla, Reach, Citi Impact Fund, GingerBread Capital and Illumen Capital, saying it connected over one million workers across warehouse and light industrial, last-mile delivery, events, food production and hospitality, and adding executives including Marqeta's former CEO as COO.

结果

Still live and scaling: as of August 2026, Workwhile ranks #25 on Exploding Topics' Top Trending Topics with 627% search growth; the cited sources report no shutdown or acquisition.

可借鉴之处

产品可以是一种拒绝：优化稳定工时和雇主可靠性，而非灵活性，使WorkWhile与零工应用区分开来——也带来了不同的搜索趋势。
