FOUNTAIN: Sean Behr and Andy McLoughlin

Founded in 2014, Fountain started with a vision to transform the hiring of hourly workers. The majority of the global workforce is composed of hourly workers, but most applicant tracking systems aren’t built for this type of worker. Hiring salaried, knowledge workers is fundamentally different from hiring hourly workers, which is why Fountain is designed to enable recruiters to efficiently hire hourly workers, from application to start date. Since 2014, Fountain's platform has had 91 million+ applicants and 14 million+ hires with users in over 75 countries. Fountain's CEO and serial entrepreneur Sean Behr joins The Pitch Perfect Podcast.

Andy McLoughlin, managing partner at Uncork Capital, advises and invests in seed-stage startups that help every business operate like the best companies in the world. The idea: productize the business software and developer tools that tech-forward behemoths typically build internally for their own use; create lasting value by delivering productivity gains and cost savings across functions ranging from sales & marketing to finance & operations. He loves investing in “unsexy” ideas and stellar teams who perhaps look a little different than the Silicon Valley standard. Learn more at https://uncorkcapital.com/.
