Member Spotlight: RoofMarketplace |
|
RoofMarketplace is an online marketplace servicing the property insurance market. The purpose of the platform is to improve the claim process when roofs are involved.
RoofMarketplace joined the Innovation Center in May 2020. The entire RoofMarketplace team works remotely. The three co-founders started as remote and part-time and continued to keep the culture of remote work, and work-life balance, as the company grew. As they take on additional employees, more and more remote workers share that they “like having a place to go and to get outside of the house to work.”
The development of the team is the company’s latest and greatest achievement. According to
William Bazeley, Co-Founder & CEO, “it has been incredible to see the team grow from the three co-founders working our second part-time job for free to our 19th employee.”
