Labour recruiter Hyr raises $1.6 mln in Flybridge-led round
Hyr, a Toronto- and New York-based labour marketplace for the new economy, has secured about $1.6 million (US$1.3 million) in a seed-stage financing. The round, which brings Hyr's total funding to date to US$2.4 million, was led by Flybridge Capital Partners and joined by Newark Venture Partners and XFactor Ventures. Founded in 2015 by CEO Joshua Karam and CMO Erika Mozes, Hyr's mobile platform connects businesses like restaurants, hotels and retailers with workers to fill shifts, on-demand. It will use the funds raised to expand, reach into new Canadian and U.S. locations, and add new sectors and workers to the platform.
