As startups work to create the future, the very notion of “work” is changing too. For both businesses and the people who power them, the choices and considerations are no longer binary: Employee or contractor? Insource or outsource? Freelancer or gig-worker? Quality or cost? Culture or pay? Office or remote? While each individual and company must evaluate these options for themselves, in May 2014 we started a mission to explore how these decisions no longer need to be binary. We started by asking ourselves: What type of work environment would attract really special people to want to join us? What type of business model would align the interests of the startup, the firm they hire to serve them, and the people who work there? And that is what PartnerHero is. A technology-enabled services company that is built to answer these questions and many others. But we are more than that.
