Distributed, founded in 2017 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, addresses a critical challenge faced by many organizations today: the global shortage of tech talent. As per recent data, 76% of IT leaders are encountering skills gaps within their teams, a statistic that has surged by 145% since 2016. This skills gap results in prolonged recruitment times, often exceeding five months and costing companies upwards of £20,000 per technical vacancy.
The solution lies in Distributed's Elastic Teams™️. This innovative approach allows clients to collaborate with fully managed, globally distributed teams of premier software engineers. The platform emphasizes rapid, efficient, and cost-effective project delivery, with Elastic Teams™️ mobilizing within days rather than months. Clients can modify team activities on demand, ensuring adaptability to varying project requirements.
The company, supported by a team of full-time project managers, technical leads, and quality assurance leads, ensures that every project—from brief to delivery—is impeccably managed to achieve optimal outcomes. Distributed has captured the essence of agile staffing and, as of 30 June 2022, secured a £8.00M Series A investment from notable investors including Fuel Ventures, Downing Ventures, Guinness Ventures, Chris Adelsbach, and Capita.
