Founders Factory is unlike anywhere else. We create entirely new products from scratch and turn promising concepts into prototypes, and ultimately an MVP, validating decisions commercially along the way to attract a founding team that can spin out into a fully-fledged business.
Parity is the latest idea to come out of the Factory and we’re looking for a Founder to build the business.
💳 So what is Parity?
The digital community of independent workers is here, and it’s growing. We believe this community of workers deserve a fairer future.
Parity is the only digital wealth manager for the gig economy. It will be a platform where independent workers can:
1) Earn more money
2) Access fairer financial products
3) Save and protect their futures.
Starting with pay transparency, Parity’s aim is to provide access to benefits and services that were typically only provided to traditional employees.
By joining forces as a community on Parity, flexible workers can make the gig economy fairer for all.
👀 The Vision
Making the future of work, work for all.
