"Algora helped us meet Nick, who after being contracted a few months, joined the Trigger founding team full-time.

It was the easiest hire and turned out to be very very good."

"Algora helped us meet Gergő and I couldn't be happier with the results. He's been working full-time with us for over a year now and is a key contributor to our product.

I think you realized this by now, but you have such a powerful sourcing/hiring engine in your hands!"

Our journey

From coding marketplace to the largest open source hiring platform

2022

"Uber for Coding" introduced

Launched an on-demand marketplace where companies would match with a developer for contract work with a click of a button. The top HN comment branded us "delusional entrepreneurs", and we struggled to make it work for the next 6 months.

Open source bounties launched

Launched a new platform focused on open source projects with bounties and payments integrated on GitHub. We successfully reduced friction and increased trust for paid open source contributions, and fulfilled our vision of "press a button and get work done".

Sustainable & profitable

Algora Public Benefit Corporation became a bootstrapped, profitable business. Dozens of customers hired full-time the engineers they met with Algora. We unlocked a bigger adjacent problem to solve: full-time hiring.

The future: Uber for hiring

Today, companies simply share their job description and receive qualified candidates within hours. We've transformed from a coding marketplace into the most efficient hiring platform for technical talent globally.

New HN launch coming in July
