The composable, AI-native workforce platform for the 70% of workers who punch a clock instead of a keyboard.
Here is a fact that sounds made up but isn't: roughly 70% of the world's workers are paid by the hour, and almost none of the software boom of the last two decades was built with them in mind. The good tools - the ones with self-service, mobile apps, and one-click everything - went to salaried knowledge workers. The nurse picking up an overnight shift, the event crew loading in at Levi's Stadium, the security guard covering a last-minute gap: they mostly got spreadsheets, group texts, and a manager fielding calls at 6 a.m.
TeamBridge - which operates under the corporate name Zira Technologies, Inc. - is a bet that this is a large and fixable problem. The company was founded in 2020 by Arjun Vora and Tito Goldstein, two design and product leaders who spent about five years at Uber building tools for more than four million drivers. That experience is the whole origin story in miniature. Uber's core insight, if you strip away the ride-hailing, is that the person doing the work should be able to serve themselves - see the job, accept it, get paid - without a middle layer of phone calls. Vora and Goldstein took that idea and pointed it at the rest of the hourly economy.
The product they built is deliberately unglamorous in its ambition: run an entire staffing operation as one connected system. Scheduling, onboarding, time and attendance, communication, pay, and invoicing all live in the same place, and the day-to-day is meant to run on rules you set once. The company's own phrasing for its mission is refreshingly free of mission-statement fog - it wants to automate workforce management busywork rather than have organizations endure it.
The word that does the heavy lifting in any TeamBridge conversation is "composable." In software, composable means the system is built out of modules you can combine - workflows, dashboards, policies, mobile screens - rather than a single rigid product you take or leave. Vora's preferred metaphor is blunter and better: LEGO blocks. A staffing agency can assemble the onboarding flow it actually needs, brand its own mobile app, and wire up the automations that fit its rules, without hiring engineers to do it.
Whether "composable" is a genuine architectural edge or a very good way to describe configuration software is the kind of question that keeps competitors up at night, and it is worth holding lightly. But the customers do not seem to be splitting that hair. TeamBridge says it has over 100,000 hourly workers on the platform, with named clients ranging from Dairy Queen to the San Francisco 49ers to the Florida Panthers - which is a nicely varied way of proving the point that a stadium on game day and a home-care agency at 2 a.m. are, structurally, the same scheduling problem.

The Series B closed September 16, 2024. TeamBridge said the round would fund its product and AI roadmap, client services, and enterprise-grade infrastructure. Total funding figures vary slightly across data providers.
TeamBridge sells to staffing agencies and companies with large hourly workforces - healthcare, security, events, home care, light industrial and hospitality. The common thread is the same scheduling and compliance problem at wildly different scales.
The receipts: Express Healthcare Staffing reported saving the equivalent of 3-4 headcount positions. REVV Staffing said it cut administrative time by 60%. The Florida Panthers cited improved operational efficiency. Verify current figures directly - these come from company and press materials.
