About this event

Join us to hear from Founder and CEO of Gig Wage, Craig J. Lewis!

Born and raised in North Texas, Craig J. Lewis is the Founder and CEO of Gig Wage, a venture capital-backed SaaS company that’s raised $13.2 million to date to meet the demands of the future workforce and to build modern payment tools for it.

Investors have included Steve Case (Founder of AOL) and his Revolution’s Rise of the Rest Venture Fund, Foundry Group, Green Dot Corp. (NYSE: GDOT), and more. In an industry where forward-thinking is a rarity, Craig’s vision for innovation has pushed an antiquated industry to modernize by designing a service that meets the demands of on-demand workforces. “Simple. Fast. Easy.”

Prior to building Gig Wage, Craig was a professional basketball player across Europe before returning stateside and becoming an expert in payroll technology, selling over $10 million in payroll-related software for the likes of ADP and others. He was the Chief Strategy Officer of Kairos, a venture-backed facial recognition and emotion detection startup that has been named one of the “Top 20 Startups” by The Wall Street Journal, was selected to participate in the first-ever Morgan Stanley Multicultural Innovation Lab, and has reached a $130M valuation.
