About HelloSubs

We are the modern gig economy for substitute teaching. While marketplaces for industries like hospitality, logistics, and others have exploded, substitute teaching has been overlooked.

1. By pooling together all substitute teachers in a region we provide the subs with more suitable opportunities and increased fill rates for schools.
2. Our subs become a talent pipeline for schools to make permanent hires from.
3. We encourage more people to become subs by offering more opportunities, faster pay, simple onboarding, professional development, and access to career development.
4. Our software removes the friction for both parties, allowing schools to quickly place job orders, and manage their campuses, while subs can quickly choose the most suitable assignments right from their mobile device.

Problem statement

We're addressing the $12B problem of substitute/temporary teachers. Each year there are 40-50M school days that need to be covered by a substitute teacher. 4M+ of these go unfilled, along with another 100K+ permanent teacher posts that are currently vacant and need to be filled by a sub/temp.

Even for schools that have an adequate pool of substitutes they lack a modern solution for scheduling them.

For teachers/subs, they do not have a good way to access all available assignments in their area, must wait weeks to get paid, and deal with cumbersome onboarding requirements.

We are finalizing contracts with large summer camp programs around the country. It looks like we'll have no problem providing full-time employment for all of our teachers in all of the markets we serve. This will at least sustain, if not grow revenues during a time that we had previously expected a seasonal slowdown.
