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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
