Worca empowers startups at all funding stages to scale up efficiently with cost-effective, global HR solutions
Global HR platform Worca has announced that it has raised $1.5 million in seed funding to help tech companies scale up in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Among the top-tier investors funding Worca’s expansion are Mucker Capital, Hyphen Capital and Gaingels, according to Worca CEO and founder Ti-Wen Lin.
Specializing in cost-effective, global HR solutions, Worca empowers startups at all funding stages to scale up efficiently with the benefits of employer of record (EOR) services. The Worca SaaS one-stop destination platform facilitates rapid hiring and onboarding of top talent, along with seamless integration of payroll, legal compliance, benefits and other human resources functions.

Worca is the only global HR and EOR platform that facilitates the rapid hiring of top talent. Worca’s automated HR processes enable clients to staff up with elite engineers and other tech professionals who will ensure that their businesses can successfully launch, grow and thrive. Its streamlined process lets clients build a global team at speed with retention rates as high as 96%.
For example, Worca recently helped a large U.S. tech company build a sizable product team in Taiwan in advance of an IPO. The company was working with a tight budget and strict timeline.
Worca’s team of experts quickly reached out to its network of recent and soon-to-be engineering graduates from top schools as well as experienced engineers looking for professional advancement or a change of scenery. Worca was able to hire 10 engineers per month on average and built a team of over 100 new hires.
In addition, Worca delivers value for tech entrepreneurs by giving them a fighting chance in the battle for talent against Big Tech.
Worca competes with the largest employers to hire top-level talent for startups through its expertise rooted in the “network effect.” When top-tier engineers feel ready for their next move, Worca is often their first stop.

One of Worca’s guiding principles is to make its platform useful to everyone, from students and job seekers to employers and employees. Worca’s network of startups and its growing talent pool allow it to match elite talent with exciting, global career opportunities.
While leveling the playing field for companies large and small, the Worca HR platform provides for gender equity in hiring by tech companies.
While planning its expansion into Southeast Asia, South America and Europe, Worca will maintain its original primary recruiting base in Taiwan, which has a stellar reputation among technology industry leaders.
“We were pleased to support businesses in building capable and successful teams using our automated global talent management platform,” said Lin. “When they needed to grow further, our easily scalable solutions help match them with the right talent for their next phase.”
