Yourco

What Yourco does

Yourco is a private, Delaware-incorporated B2B SaaS company founded in 2021 that operates an SMS-based communication and intelligence platform targeting organizations with frontline, non-desk workforces. The company was co-founded by Brodie Meyer (CEO) and Benjamin Meyer (CTO) and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with secondary operations in Indianapolis, Indiana. Yourco's core product enables two-way text-message communication with frontline employees on any mobile phone—including basic flip phones—without requiring app downloads, company-issued email, or internet connectivity, with AI-powered automatic translation supporting 135+ languages.

The platform comprises several integrated modules: the core Yourco Platform for messaging and employee directory management; Frontline Intelligence, an AI-powered analytics layer launched in March 2026 that converts SMS traffic into sentiment, safety, and disengagement insights; Enterprise Bridge, a corporate broadcast layer for organizations with 2,001 to 100,000+ frontline employees; and HRIS Integrations connecting to 240+ payroll and HR systems for automated roster synchronization. Security and compliance include SOC 2 Type II and GDPR certifications.

Yourco employs a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led growth (free trial self-signup), inside sales for mid-market accounts, and field sales for Fortune 500 enterprise deployments, supplemented by a partner/reseller program. Revenue is generated through SaaS subscription contracts, though pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans manufacturing (Yanfeng), agriculture (Nufarm), hospitality (The Seagate), transportation (Indianapolis Airport Authority, New Orleans Public Belt Railroad), construction, retail, and auto dealerships (McCarthy Auto Group). To date the company has raised approximately $8.5 million across a 2023 seed round led by Ground Game Ventures, a March 2026 Series A led by High Alpha, and earlier SEC exempt offerings.

Direct peers

• Staffbase: Staffbase is an employee communication and intranet platform with mobile apps, intranet, and email channels used by enterprise HR and internal comms teams. While more app-centric than Yourco, it competes for the same HR/communications budget and increasingly targets frontline audiences.
• Poppulo: Poppulo is an employee experience and internal communications platform combining email, mobile, digital signage, and analytics for enterprise workforce communications. It is a comparable peer in the HR/employee-comms category, particularly for organizations modernizing frontline engagement.
• Firstup: Firstup is an employee communication platform that delivers personalized messages across email, mobile, SMS, and push to frontline and corporate workers. Its omnichannel delivery model and enterprise HR buyer overlap make it a direct functional peer to Yourco's frontline-focused SMS platform.
• WorkJam: WorkJam delivers digital workplace tools for frontline and hourly employees, including shift swapping, task management, surveys, and corporate communication. Like Yourco, it emphasizes two-way SMS and app-free communication and is sold into enterprise retail, hospitality, and manufacturing accounts.
• Zinc by Simpplr: Zinc (now part of Simpplr) provided SMS- and mobile-based communication for frontline and deskless workforces across retail, hospitality, and manufacturing. It represents a direct competitor in the same niche Yourco serves, with a comparable feature set centered on two-way frontline messaging.
• Beekeeper: Beekeeper is a frontline employee communication and operations platform offering two-way messaging, scheduling, and analytics for deskless workers. It is the closest direct competitor to Yourco, targeting the same manufacturing, hospitality, and construction buyers with an SMS-plus-mobile-app approach.
• Flip (formerly Whistic): Flip is a frontline employee engagement platform that uses text messaging to reach deskless workers for onboarding, scheduling, and feedback. It targets a similar non-desk HR buyer and competes directly on the no-app, SMS-first proposition that Yourco anchors.

Broad incumbents

• Slack: Slack is the dominant enterprise team messaging platform, owned by Salesforce, used widely for workplace communication. While it primarily serves desk-based workers, its ubiquity makes it the incumbent alternative HR/comms buyers compare against when evaluating frontline-specific tools like Yourco.
• Workday: Workday is a leading HCM and workforce management platform used by large enterprises. Its People Experience layer and Peakon employee engagement product make it a broader incumbent competitor for the HR-tech wallet that Yourco's enterprise customers are spending from.
• Microsoft Viva: Microsoft Viva is the employee experience platform within Microsoft 365, covering engagement, learning, knowledge, and connections. As a broad incumbent bundled with Teams and Outlook, it competes for the same HR-tech budget and increasingly extends into frontline communications scenarios.
