TapChief is an online platform that enables professionals to earn income without full-time jobs by connecting them with businesses seeking industry experts. Founded in 2016 by Shashank Murali, Binay Krishna and Arjun Krishna, the platform lets businesses source and shortlist experts to consult or work on specific projects across functions such as strategy, technology, and operations. The company raised $1.5 million from Blume Ventures. TapChief said it will use the funds to expand its network of professionals, enhance its product offering, and strengthen its technology. It serves projects of varying budgets and durations, providing flexible engagement lengths and compensation structures. TapChief, founded in 2016 by Shashank Murali, Binay Krishna, and Arjun Krishna, pivoted in mid-2017 from an online advice platform to a full-stack future-of-work platform. The product aggregates professionals’ personal brands, provides learning from experts, and enables businesses to discover, hire, and pay talent for gigs via proprietary technology. The company reports over 75,000 professionals on the platform, has enabled gigs worth more than $1 million to date, and works with customers including Unilever, Deloitte, redBus, UpGrad, and Dunzo. TapChief has a team of 35 based in Bengaluru and plans to scale headcount and product development with new funding. The startup is targeting growth to empower a million professionals to earn viable incomes without full-time jobs.
