Benefits for Startups and SMBs
FlexiBees offers startups and SMBs cost-effective and agile solutions, significantly reducing hiring time by 90%. Their advanced vetting technology ensures high-quality matches, with 70% of business from repeat clients. The platform provides a broad range of roles such as Sales, Digital Marketing, Finance, HR, and Technology. For professionals, FlexiBees offers flexible, career-advancing opportunities that promote financial independence and agency.
Vikram Ramasubramaniam, Partner at Inflection Point Ventures, stated, “Balancing household and office responsibilities often takes a significant toll on individuals, such as new parents or those caring for aging relatives, leading to compromises. FlexiBees addresses this by offering part-time, project-based, and remote jobs, enabling professionals to manage both their personal and professional lives effectively. This approach allows them to contribute their expertise while maintaining personal commitments, benefiting employers with access to skilled talent.”
Shreya Prakash, Co-Founder & CEO, FlexiBees, said, “Our objective is to scale our operations to generate employment opportunities and improve employability for millions of women professionals currently outside the full-time workforce. This initiative will provide business across the world with access to a remarkable talent pool, helping them grow competitively. We express our sincere gratitude to Inflection Point Ventures for their confidence in our vision and ambition. We could not have asked for more esteemed partners.”
Rashmi Rammohan, Co-Founder and COO, added, “We recognized early on that the traditional marketplace matching approach was insufficient for our needs. Companies today are hiring for a wide array of roles flexibly, from Sales and Marketing to Content Strategy. Traditional gig Marketplaces, lack the capability to effectively manage these complex skill matches.”

In 2022, FlexiBees was honored as the first runner-up in the Tie Women’s competition for South East Asia and South Asia and was recognized by Jefferies as a pioneering force in the flexible work sector.

With the successful completion of its Pre-Series A round, FlexiBees is set to further its mission of empowering women professionals and providing businesses with access to top-tier talent. The company continues to innovate and expand, making flexible work solutions more accessible and effective for both employers and professionals.
