London-based startup Gig has raised £1m in Seed funding to launch its app which will allow young people to find shift work in the hospitality industry.
Antony Woodcock, co-founder and managing director at Gig, said: “We always talk about 9 to 5 being so last century. Millennials are used to and seek out things that give them instant gratification.
“Gig enables people to wake up one morning, find and book work through the app, complete a shift and then they automatically get their pay within 24 hours – it doesn’t get much more instant than that. We also pay holiday pay up front so people will always walk away with that little bit extra in their pocket each week.”
