Listo Global

What Listo Global does

Listo Global, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated, Utah-headquartered employment technology company founded in the summer of 2022 by CEO Freddie Ashby and COO Tyler Dixon. The company operates an all-in-one global workforce platform organized around three core solutions — Find, Hire, and Pay — under which it delivers Employer of Record (EOR) services, contractor management, international recruiting, and global payroll to companies that want to employ or engage talent in foreign jurisdictions without establishing local legal entities. Coverage is marketed at 150+ to 180+ countries, with payments facilitated in 50+ currencies via its cloud-based SaaS platform and a dedicated multi-currency wallet product, ListoPay, that enables real-time contractor payments in 90+ countries.

The platform automates country-specific compliant employment and independent contractor agreements, multi-currency payroll, benefits administration, and contractor classification through a network of vetted in-country partners. In November 2023 Listo acquired Magellan AI to integrate generative AI tooling and marketplace solutions into the EOR offering, and it achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance in May 2024 to clear enterprise procurement gates. The product surface is complemented by add-on modules for entity setup, immigration, hardware management, and ex-pat services.

Listo monetizes primarily through recurring subscription fees: $45 per contractor per month for contractor management (or $45 plus 1.5% for local currency), $225 per contractor for the Contractor Plus tier, and per-employee monthly EOR fees that include setup, onboarding, and administrative pass-through costs. Recruiting is priced either hourly ($75–$150) or as a 25% contingency fee of first-year compensation, with ancillary fees for transitions ($750), background checks ($175), and payment processing (3.3%). Distribution runs through a hybrid GTM combining enterprise field sales and a self-serve SaaS onboarding flow, supported by content marketing and a Global Hiring Guide covering 180+ countries. As of the latest disclosed data, the company has raised approximately $1.95M in pre-seed/accelerator funding and employs 11–50 people.
