Distributed

Venture Round in 2022
We believe that businesses achieve more when they are focused on outcomes. We believe the next generation of top tier talent want more control and more variety in their working lives. That’s why we founded Distributed. We’ve all been contractors who that have helped businesses move faster, and we’ve all hired contractors on behalf of businesses. The system was broken and we’re setting out to create a world where businesses can focus on defining outcomes that will provide meaningful futures for them and their customers, and where top tier talent can define where, when and how they would like to work. We built our platform to allow companies to deliver digital outcomes faster, and to a higher standard than ever before by utilising an AI powered global workforce. Using proprietary Natural Language Processing and Applied Machine Learning on top of our data sets we’re able to immediately cost any outcome a customer requires and assemble the very best Elastic Team for the job. Our workflow and dedicated project managers make sure that our customers have a permanent point of contact with their team, and are there to ensure the very best delivery experience possible. The Distributed platform harnesses the power of an Elastic global workforce to allow companies to move faster and with greater control over cost than ever before. Digital technologies, their applications and interdependencies are growing at an unprecedented rate, creating a huge demand for specialist skillsets. This will result in a global talent shortage of around 130M tech workers by 2022. The Distributed platform allows businesses to combat this shortfall by utilising a global talent pool powered by AI to ensure that they can continue to grow and innovate despite the increasing cost and scarcity of specialist digital talent. The biggest market shift that Distributed will enable will be the shift from asset focused organisations to outcome focused organisations. We now have the technology to connect complex supply with complex demand through the understanding of rich data. This enables the commoditization of digital assets both from a code and a human capital standpoint allowing organisations to focus on defining outcomes that will deliver meaningful futures for their business. Outcomes over assets.
