LaborUp

LaborUp is an AI-powered recruiting platform for American manufacturing, connecting skilled industrial workers — machinists, CNC programmers, welders, and maintenance technicians — with manufacturing employers. The platform combines voice-first AI screening, skills verification, and constraint-aware matching with dedicated recruiter support, and claims 5-10x faster hiring, more than 50% lower cost than traditional staffing agencies, 3x better post-hire retention, and a proprietary network of 25,000+ vetted workers. Founded by Simba Jonga, LaborUp raised $7.74M ($1.935M pre-seed plus a $5.8M seed announced in August 2025) led by NVP with Torch Capital, Threshold, Heartland VC, Daybreak, Westbound, Marketplace Capital, and Market Square Ventures. Early traction is concentrated in the Knoxville, Tennessee manufacturing corridor and in aerospace, shipbuilding, and critical infrastructure. As of July 2026 LaborUp publishes no public API, developer portal, or specification; the product is delivered as a hosted web and mobile application.

LaborUp is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Saas, Recruiting, Staffing, and Manufacturing.

LaborUp’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 12 more developer resources.
