Hamilton helps organizations create diverse, cohesive teams, with a marketplace that organically cultivates trust-based connections. We are partnering with companies that are facing the organizational challenges of scale – large, siloed corporations as well as growth-stage firms expecting to increase headcount by 50% or more. Our solution helps companies move toward a cohesive and enjoyable working environment, by matching colleagues based on unique personal skills and needs. We apply automated technologies – community identification algorithms and data-driven market mechanisms – to create genuine connections among colleagues. This scalable approach helps fuel trust and teamwork across organizational silos.

Our approach creates a bespoke, non-monetary marketplace for one-off favors among colleagues. These favors bring colleagues together through ad-hoc interactions that go beyond workplace projects. By scaffolding genuine connections, Hamilton’s marketplace contributes to an inviting and collaborative working environment.

Hamilton exploits a unique feature of workplace connections to bring colleagues together. Members of the same company have existing affinities – an advantage that no “gig” or “on-demand” marketplace (e.g., TaskRabbit) could ever make use of. However, these same collegial relationships can also seem aloof – among co-workers, “favors” are irregular and isolated events. Unlike a friend who would amicably and compassionately help with an apartment move, colleagues would be more austere about making such a request.

Through Hamilton, we re-define ways of working to help organizations make the most of their intellectual and social diversity. Powered by digital technologies, we hope to lay the foundation for a more united and productive world that celebrates diversity.
