We officially launched this company a year ago with an idea, a website built from sticks and gum, a few friendly businesses we pestered to give us jobs and a handful of women who agreed to be our guinea pigs. We started out with “a dollar and a dream” and became a full-fledged women owned and operated start-up. In the past year our network grew to 500 women with many more patiently waiting as we diligently vet them for membership. We brought on an amazing CFO, Kemp Steib, who will guide our business to great heights. A dream came true when the NY Times wrote a story about our incredible members and the mission of the Second Shift. Most importantly, many women are now matched with work that provides them the flexibility to make work work for them.
We want to sincerely thank all of our members and the businesses we work with who understand the talent, value and expertise of our network. In 2016 we will work tirelessly to create more opportunities for our members and to strengthen our community. We accomplished so much in one short year… can’t wait to see what happens next!
