Swarm secures $1.1M pre-seed funding to be the top platform for finding senior consultants and agencies

Swarm, a community platform for fractional tech professionals, raised a $1.1 million pre-seed round.

Backed by two early institutional investors, Hustle Fund and Plug and Play, Swarm’s angel investors include early and founding team members at Google, Facebook, and DoorDash;  Paolo Campos of Kaya Founders; and Vivek Padmanabhan and Jim Franke- pioneers of the outsourcing industry.

Swarm aims to transform the way people work by fostering collaboration and trust within its community. Swarm differentiates itself with its community driven approach toward matching.  Users qualify for introductions to clients when they are endorsed by other users who stake their reputation in exchange for rewards.

Swarm states that their community-oriented method appeals to senior consultants and those who are have exceptional careers. Over 80% of Swarm's hired builders have experience working at companies backed by Y Combinator and Fortune 500. Swarm has worked with clients like the former Chief Technology Officer of McAfee, Procter & Gamble, Axiamatic, f(dev), Parallax, Shipmates, and others.

In October, Swarm launched its closed beta.
