YouTeam is a platform for hiring remote teams of software engineers. In 2018 it was backed by Y Combinator. Unlike many freelancer marketplaces, YouTeam’s engineers work for dev shops and are usually not available for hire as individual specialists.
History
[edit]YouTeam was founded in 2014 in London by Ukrainian founders Anton Mishchenko, Yura Riphyak, and Nikita Voloshin. [2] The company has been launched as a “Booking.com for IT outsourcing” — a platform where businesses get access to top international engineering talent and build projects in a secure and trusted environment.[3] After receiving customer acclaim at the Web Summit 2017 in Lisbon and TechCrunch Disrupt in London, YouTeam opened the beta version of its platform to the general public.[4]
Founders managed to bootstrap YouTeam to over €1M in annual gross revenue without any external investment.[5]
In 2018 YouTeam became the 4th Ukrainian startup ever to be accepted into Y Combinator [5] and has taken $120,000 from YC in exchange for 7 percent of its shares. [2] The same year, U.Ventures (a Fund established by Western NIS Enterprise Fund) invested $1.15 million into 3 Ukrainian startups: YouTeam, 3DLook, and Pufetto. [3]
After this, YouTeam’s headquarters was moved to Mountain View, California. The main office, however, is in Lviv, some 500 kilometers west of Kyiv. [4]
Description
[edit]YouTeam is a marketplace for hiring tech talent from software development shops. It connects founders with handpicked engineers from vetted agencies around the world. In a nutshell, the process is as simple as when you hire a freelancer but as secure as if you were hiring in-house. [6] YouTeam is focused on hiring remote developers’ teams.
The list of the firms that have worked with programmers available on YouTeam includes Marvel, Amazon, Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, Nokia, and other companies from around the globe.[2]
