## About

Based in Minnesota, US, Yardstik, Inc. was co-founded in 2020 by computer scientist Matt Meents and marketing veteran Justin Kaufenberg and Jeff Hinck. In August 2026, Yardstik raised USD 30 million in Series B funding led by Harbert Management, with participation from Rally Ventures, MissionOG, Crosslink Capital, Grotech Ventures, and Great North Ventures.

The company's main product is Yardstik, a human security platform offers modular packages of screening, verification, and training solutions to give marketplaces and platforms more methodologies to hire, onboard, and manage workforces. The platform is focusing on short-term workforces.
