YouTeam (YC W18)

YouTeam is the world's first marketplace for rapid engineering staff augmentation. It enables tech companies to ramp up their development by instantly adding full-time contracted engineers to the team. In the same way that cloud computing allows tech companies to dynamically scale their computing capacity with their processing workload, YouTeam allows scaling their engineering team with their development workload. Like AWS, but for hiring developers. Thanks to its network of 20,000 pre-vetted engineers, YouTeam is not only able to source candidates many times faster than any outsourcing agency - but also provides access to the talent of much better quality. Over the past 4 years, 200 US and EU tech companies, including 40 Y Combinator startups, and 2 Fortune 1000 companies have met or exceeded their product development goals with the help of YouTeam engineers. 14 of YouTeam's seed and A-stage customers boosted their way to raising a total of $146M in 2020. Based in the heart of Silicon Valley and built by serial entrepreneurs, YouTeam is backed by Y Combinator (Winter 2018), Horizon Capital, and a number of other prominent VCs and angel investors.
