StaffAny raises $1m in seed funding

The seed round of investment was lead by FreakOut Holdings, Inc.

Workforce management app StaffAny garnered $1m during its seed funding rounded by FreakOut, an announcement revealed.

Amongst the angel investors are HR tech entrepreneur Kenji Niwa, and live-chat software Zopim co-founders Lim Qing Ru, Kwok Yang Bin and Royston Tay.

The funding will be used to support the company’s growth and expansion plans.

StaffAny’s platform features scheduling of staff, on-site time clock in place of punch cards, smart timesheets that can detail changes in shifts, leave applications, and real-time automatically generated reports.

It manages hourly workers typically found in F&B and retail sectors, where manpower crunch are said to be frequent. The app currently caters to around 70 businesses, with over 2,000 staff.

StaffAny previously received $75,000 grant funding from organisations including the (NUS) Enterprise SG and pre-accelerator programme StartupX.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
