Employing globally is incredibly hard. I know this because I’ve been there. In 2019, my team and I were building Chefit, an app that hoped to make it easy for people to order food from personal chefs. Due to COVID-19, Chefit closed. Still, we didn’t rest until we found new jobs for the team. But being a 100% remote and global team posed a few challenges. Employing abroad was a month, sometimes year-long ordeal, resulting in an expensive investment of, at least, $80,000 per country, just to be compliant with local labor laws. That scared companies away, but it also prevented them from hiring the incredibly talented people I was proud to vouch for. That’s why we started Panther: to help companies focus on growing world-class teams, wherever they are, by doing the heavy work for them in hours, not months. Without them going bankrupt in the process. I'd love for you to check it out, and send any feedback or feature requests our way! - Matt Redler, Co-Founder + CEO

Hi everyone 👋 I’m Sanja, Head of Product at Panther. I’m so excited that we are finally launching! I’ve been working on making global hiring a simple and easy process trough product planning and design. Lots of diagrams, components, prototypes, specs, and sprints, so feel free to send any design / product-related questions my way. I’m very passionate about my work on this because it will open up so many opportunities for people from small countries like my home country of Macedonia 🇲🇰 This is what being hired trough Panther means to someone like myself:
 💼 Being recognized as more than just a contractor or a second-class citizen 📈 Having the opportunity to receive stock options for your hard work 🏦 A better credit score because of stable income ☔️ Full coverage for local benefits and contributions (eg. pension, healthcare, unemployment) 🧠 Eliminating “Brain Drain” in your home country 🏝 The freedom to work from anywhere in the world Excited to learn more?

Hey Everyone! For the last few years, my focus has been on democratizing access to talent. First, as an early Sales hires at Lambda School and now as the Partnerships + Growth Lead at Panther. I feel lucky to work with such a passionate, iterative, and dynamic team. Employing and paying people globally isn't easy. It's complex, expensive, and time-consuming. We're making it simple, affordable, and efficient. If this is something that resonates with you (or someone you know), feel free to check out our site :)

Today is the day! printf(“Hello World!\n”); .. and in our case literally 😊, Crazy story for you all, couple of years ago a friend of mine phones me, says, getting you in touch with this guy who’s got an idea; needs someone technical to execute; see if you can work together. Sure, I mean, new client, extra income, same (decades) old setup: remote team of contractors, building something and moving on to the next thing. Oh boy, was I wrong…we get to know each other and there’s me at point contemplating wearing a tinfoil hat, because @redlermatt basically is voicing ideas and thoughts in my head (that have fallen on deaf ears over the years) about how a distributed remote team should not be just a bunch of hired guns, no “second-class citizens”, team members should have shares and true ownership in what they are contributing to, the list goes on. Now, bear in mind this is all regarding Chefit, our previous start-up, and remote experience has nothing to do with the core product we are building. So, insert here a few paragraphs about the red tape, cost, and law/compliance induced anxiety that we went through when setting up an international entity, fast forward through one heck of a wonderful 2019, and whatever adjective you want to use for 2020; it’s 2021 now and we are officially launching Panther!!! Panther is not just a company or a service we offer, it’s a way of allowing global teams to capture and share all the wonderful experiences we’ve had building 2 remote companies so far, by allowing us to take care on their behalf all the background heavy lifting. Finally if there’s one thing I would like for all of you to take away from this post is that everything we do and build is Made With ❤️ From Around The 🌍

I'm an advisor for Panther and I'm so excited to see how this idea has grown. This team is exceptional, and they are working incredibly hard to change the way that the world hires. More than that, they are pushing to reshape the way we look at remote work and global labor. I'm confident that they will become the go-to tool for startups looking to build their teams with high quality, affordable talent.

I am so proud to be a part of the Panther team! We are all working hard to make hiring better, and expand opportunity for people all over the world.

I am amazed to come across this and so thrilled that this exists! This should be a necessity for every startup out there. It’s not easy doing all of this manually. Glad that this product exists. Thanks for creating this! I am in love with it!
