Overview

Moonlighting operates a mobile, on-demand marketplace that helps freelancers and small businesses hire or be hired directly from mobile devices. The platform includes tools such as proposals, invoices, mobile payments and CRM to help users run personal small businesses. The company plans to integrate blockchain into its product by transporting over 700,000 profiles onto the EOSIO protocol, making profiles portable and including hiring data like reviews, referrals, recommendations and job verifications. Moonlighting says it will embed its mobile management toolset and job verifications into users' blockchain profiles and supports its platform with its own token. Founded in 2014 and led by CEO Jeff Tennery, the company positions itself to empower millions of independent workers worldwide. The article does not disclose specific revenue or user-count metrics beyond the planned profile migration. Moonlighting is a Charlottesville, VA–based mobile, on-demand application that creates a virtual marketplace enabling communication between those needing tasks done and those capable of fulfilling them. Led by CEO and co-founder Jeff Tennery, the app allows people to earn extra money and get tasks done instantly. The company plans product expansion and market development to grow its nationwide footprint. The recent financing will support continued expansion and nationwide growth to more than 2,000 communities. McClatchy’s planned integration into its print and digital properties across 28 U.S. markets and 14 states should broaden Moonlighting’s reach. Moonlighting closed $1.9M in funding to pursue these plans.
