Able is an ethical AI-enhanced workforce platform that connects workers directly with businesses – fairly, affordably, and without bias. Founded in 2025, Able was created because traditional staffing agencies charge venues up to 50% in fees while workers often receive poor pay, no transparency, and limited rights. Able exists to change that, and was built with the worker in mind. We charge just 8% – the lowest in the market – and workers receive 100% of their pay within 24 hours. Our AI matching removes bias by not revealing a worker's age, gender, or nationality to hiring managers, and not asking hiring managers to rate freelancers with stars. Instead, matching is based on skills, proximity, and availability and we collect developmental feedback to help our users grow. Able is backed by Innovate UK, (Department for Business and Trade), Mayor of London, and private investors, and has validated product-market fit with over 500 workers and 48 venue partners in our community.
