PreFix describes itself as a tech-enabled platform that has invested in building long-term careers for employees rather than gig‑economy models. Founded in 2014 and commercially launched in 2018, the Austin-based startup has raised $2.7M in its most recent seed round and $5M in total funding. It plans to use the new capital to expand coverage within Greater Austin, launch in new markets and broaden its portfolio of services. The company has 18 employees, most of whom are military veterans, and intends to hire more rapidly as it scales.
