The way enterprises
get work done is evolving

We’re shaping the future of work by enabling seamless access to the world’s best independent talent on demand.

A workforce in transition

People are the heartbeat of every organization. And yet, most workforce models are not built to handle the demands of the modern workforce.

Employees wanting better work-life balance, pay, and flexibility have started to realize the benefits of going independent and remote. This shift in employee behavior has pushed companies to rethink how they view talent acquisition amid capacity and capability gaps on their teams.

Reimagining the modern workplace

As companies retooled their workforce to navigate a changing labor landscape, Graphite emerged as a platform for helping companies gain seamless access to the talent they need on demand.

By creating a platform where independent experts and leading companies can meet, we’re paving the way for the modern workplace. Businesses and experts alike can enjoy the benefits of a flexible workforce — a win-win for everyone.

Teddy has been a pleasure to work with. He inherited a complex project and worked diligently to understand the context and make sure his deliverable was spot on. Teddy has the unique ability to anticipate and proactively address questions that might arise from his modeling work. I firmly believe that life is too short to work with jerks, and Teddy was a great guy.
