<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce. There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Grow With Us</strong></span></p>
