Our Story:
Disillusioned with the grind of daily commutes and mindless work, our co-founder and CEO Dave Nevogt started his own business with a remote team. Yet managing this global team became a challenge. He knew there had to be a better way to track hours, pay contractors, send invoices, and manage projects — and that’s how Hubstaff started.
Today, our team runs on the Hubstaff platform, so we know what it takes to collaborate effectively with colleagues on the other side of the globe. It’s how we’ve continued to grow since 2012, and how we’ve helped customers do the same.
Now Hubstaff is a remote-first team that consists of over 60 wonderful people representing over 18 countries. We are not afraid of sharing our KPIs: right now Hubstaff’s revenue is growing about 5% monthly.
We know the benefits of working from home and flexibly arranging work around our lives. Hubstaff is proud of its mission: help other people experience the same freedom and still effectively organize their work and reach business goals.
Our Vision
To become the world’s leading workforce management platform for remote and field service teams through helping managers and team members work better together regardless of physical location. We do this through transparent data, meaningful insights, and business automation which in combination create value for the customers we serve.
