I’m a big lover of all things technology and it’s crazy how far we’ve come within the last decade. After hearing about Distributed, an AI-powered tech talent resourcing platform raising £1.5million in seed funding from Fuel Ventures, it reminds me of how advanced AI technology is becoming and how it could seriously impact our society in the future.
With Distributed receiving this new funding, it brings up it’s total to £1.65 million and jeez is that a lot of money to go towards their technology. Being intrigued, I delved into the history of the company. Distributed was founded only recently in 2019 and has already gained a reputation for changing the way businesses are working. Using their Elastic Team platform, their customers provide a brief description of a technical outcome that they require and Distributed’s learn technology delivers an outcome without any talent management.
They’ve already had 50 customers on board with its first year of business and they are working with top companies like Mastercard, REISS, and RBS to name but a few. Distributed have become an established market-breaking product for businesses delivering digital work in the UK. Callum Adamson, who is the CEO of Distributed said:
“In a world where tech talent is in increasingly short supply, it’s clear that maintaining the pace of delivery required by modern businesses, via hiring direct or outsourcing, is no longer working. We created Distributed to answer this problem,” comments Callum Adamson, CEO of Distributed. “Using our AI-powered global workforce, the best talent is deployed into work that is meaningful to them as individuals, and organisations achieve both their business goals and a better return on their spend.”
As someone who writes often about business outside of my blog, it’s apparent that as technology advances, we all expect more from the products we buy or the services we pay for and it’s clear that this company has found a gap in the market. Mark Pearson, the founder of Fuel Ventures also comments:
“The need for software development is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, which we expect to exceed trillions of spend over the coming decade, and Distributed will be positioned front and centre of this growth. We believe the majority of businesses should focus on their own core competencies and use the Distributed platform to create better digital products for their customers.”
“This next evolution of Distributed will allow us to grow our team, our network of partners and speed the innovation of our platform,” continues Adamson. “We’re aiming to raise the benchmark on the delivery of digital work, and we’re executing against a tremendous opportunity here in the UK. Our ultimate goal is to make great work available to millions of digital specialists worldwide, while simultaneously removing resourcing, HR and talent headaches for businesses large and small.”
AI technology is something I’m excited to see improve over the coming years and I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of this technology in our own lives very soon. What do you think of AI technology? Let me know in the comments below?
