Wonolo is an on-demand staffing platform that connects job seekers and businesses looking to fill their labor needs. Wonolo recognizes the barriers that make it difficult for people to find meaningful work and for companies to find quality workers.
The company believes there’s a better way to connect people and jobs and is on a mission to make work flexible and fulfilling for everyone. In doing so, the company is disrupting temporary staffing and improving workforce access and development.
Companies like Coca-Cola, Aramark, Peloton and Uniqlo turn to Wonolo to find temporary workers, and workers use a mobile app to find job opportunities in their community. Many of these jobs are at warehouses and in e-commerce settings across the country. With Wonolo, businesses can mobilize a flexible workforce that can be easily scaled up or down as business needs shift using one simple, centralized platform.

“I have met hundreds of investors over the years, and it's so rare to meet investors like the Leeds Illuminate team. I was so impressed with their deep domain expertise and analytical rigor. But more importantly, I really appreciated their focus on the broader picture, the long-term social impact, and people.”
