What mywork does

mywork is a Brazilian cloud-based SaaS company that sells HR and personnel-department software to small and medium-sized enterprises, founded in 2018 by Timor Espallargas (CEO) and Thomas Carlsen after the co-founders met at Columbia University's MBA program in 2016. The platform's core product is Controle de Ponto, an online time-tracking system that lets employees clock in and out via iOS/Android apps, tablets, or browsers, with complementary modules for Banco de Horas (time bank management) and Gestão de Férias (vacation management with labor-law compliance). A differentiated feature is Gestão de Atestados, which uses computer vision and anomaly detection to extract data from medical certificate images and flag potential fraud; the platform also offers facial biometric recognition, geofencing, offline point marking, and collective-mode shared-device clock-in. Bank-level encryption and eSocial integration support regulatory positioning around Brazilian labor rules (Portaria 671, CLT).

The commercial model is a per-active-employee SaaS subscription with monthly or annual billing and three tiers (Start, Plus, Pro), plus optional add-ons for vacation management and a post-cancellation Plano Manutenção data-retention service. Pricing scales by collaborator count band (1-5 through 100+), with matrices and branches included at no extra cost. Go-to-market mixes product-led growth (7-day free trial at app.mywork.com.br), enterprise sales for accounts with 101+ collaborators, a Reseller/Promoter channel-partner program offering recurring commissions, and content-driven SEO and HR-education marketing. The company also bundles adjacent SMB services through partnerships: corporate credit cards with Clara and recruitment with Abler.

By the time of its November 2021 R$3.5 million seed round (led by Domo Invest and ABSeed, with Bossa Invest and Raio Capital), the company reported that more than 5,000 companies and 160,000 employees had used the platform; named enterprise customers include Cacau Show, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Oakberry, Piticas, Mundo Verde, Odonto Company, CNA, Grupo Bom Beef, Nanica, Strada Log, Grêmio Novorizontino and O Boticário units. Headquartered in São Paulo at Rua Oscar Freire 1431, the legal entity MYWORK TRATAMENTO DE DADOS E CORRETAGEM DE SEGUROS LTDA. operates as a private Brazilian limitada; no later funding round or revenue figure is publicly disclosed.
