Workee is a US-based no-code back-office platform for freelancers, founded by Ukrainian founders in Spring 2020. The product integrates personal websites, booking and scheduling, online payments and invoicing, a CRM, and video calls to replace or consolidate tools like Calendly, Wix, Zoom, and PayPal. Its stated core audience is teachers, tutors, and trainers, though the platform is presented as flexible for all gig workers and lets users pick only the features they need. Workee launched largely free and retains a free plan while offering a Pro plan for advanced features such as group calls; the team has monetized gradually and built a community. The founders relocated first to Lithuania and later to the USA due to Russia’s offensive; planned uses for new funding include developing a B2B direction and adding more features to strengthen US presence. Workee provides a no-code back-office SaaS for freelance professionals — including coaches, health experts, consultants, tutors, and lawyers — to manage client appointments, accounting, invoices, clients, and workflows in one place. The platform automatically creates personal brand websites and connects them to the back office for workflow optimization and promotion. Founded in 2020 and based in Kiev, the startup has recorded over 3,000 sign-ups. Workee plans to triple its team in 2022 to support rapid growth and to expand its active user base to over 50,000. The company aims to establish itself as the default back-office software for online professionals by focusing on functionality and connectivity with external tools.
