Startup Description
Gratia is building the future of entry-level work and apprenticeship technology. We envision a future where Gratia is the provider of choice for all entry-level hires by driving efficiency, delivering consistent quality and providing economic opportunity. Talent is globally distributed, but opportunity is not. We believe we can make a lot of money and impact by fixing this.

Tell us a bit about how founding team knows
each other.
Sarah met Jackie and the Gratia team by way of a collaboration between Gratia and Graphite, an expert network of which Sarah was a member. Jackie and Sarah struck up an instant rapport over a cup of coffee, as they both had a deep appreciation for the market need that Gratia was addressing and a shared passion for developing innovative solutions in the people and talent sector.
Why did you decide to start this
company?
While Jackie was working as a digital nomad, she met a young capable Mozambican analyst. She realised that there were affordable analysts like him that needed to be matched to global clients.
Are all the founders full-time on this
