History
Founded in 2007 by Xenios Thrasyvoulou and Simos Kitiris,[2] the company has offices in London and Athens.[3] Businesses using the website are often start-ups or SMEs looking to grow flexibly by hiring freelancers to handle projects rather than hiring in-house or via agencies.
Reception
In August 2012, PeoplePerHour was named by the science and technology magazine Wired UK as one of "Europe's 100 Hottest Startups of 2012".[4]
In 2012 its 50-person engineering department relocated to Athens.[5] One of the major investors in PeoplePerHour is Index Ventures, which invested £2M (3.2M dollars) in 2012.[5][6] Mike Volpi has named PeoplePerHour among the three "most underrated companies" in the Index's portfolio.[7] In its previous seed round, the company had raised approximately £425k.[8]
