Work for Pie, founded in 2011 by Brad Montgomery and Cliff McKinney, was a professional networking platform specifically designed for software developers. Based in Memphis, the company aimed to create a dedicated online space for developers to connect and advance their careers.
The venture showed early promise, securing a total of $356,000 in funding over three rounds. Its initial funding round occurred in March 2011, followed by a significant seed round of $341,000 on May 13, 2012. This later round was led by Omidyar Network, which was among its three institutional investors.
As a business, Work for Pie operated as a niche professional networking site, distinguishing itself from broader platforms by focusing exclusively on the software development community. The platform was intended to facilitate connections, knowledge sharing, and employment opportunities for its user base. Despite its initial funding and specific market focus, the company is now considered inactive or 'deadpooled'.
