Legion Technologies builds an AI-native workforce management (WFM) platform for the hourly workforce. Founded in 2016 by former SAP chief product officer Sanish Mondkar, the Redwood City company automates demand forecasting, employee scheduling, time and attendance, and labor optimization for retailers, restaurants, healthcare and fitness operators. Its stated mission is to turn hourly jobs into good jobs by helping employers cut labor costs while giving frontline workers more control, flexibility, and faster access to pay.
Max Wang is the Co-Founder and CTO of Workstream, a San Francisco-based HR and payroll platform built specifically for America's hourly workforce. He co-founded China's AngelList equivalent (VC.CN) in 2011, built it to a 50-person team, then crossed the Pacific to co-build Workstream with Desmond Lim and Lei Xu after a 100-interview discovery sprint revealed that hiring hourly workers was a massive unsolved problem. Today, Workstream serves 4,000+ businesses across 24,000 locations, has raised $118 million, and is deploying AI tools - including VoiceAI - to compress hiring cycles from weeks to hours for restaurants, franchises, and deskless-workforce employers.
