Key notes: Tax and insurance tools for independent contractors.

Office address: San Francisco, California, United States

Description: Zen99 is an all-in-one dashboard to manage your 1099 work. We help with tracking finances, estimating/minimizing taxes, and getting insurance - things every contractor is required by law to do, but struggles to figure out due to complex regulations. Why contractors? They’re about to be over 40% of the workforce, and are growing at twice the rate of traditional employees. Our platform serves contractors both in service industries (rideshare drivers, web development and creative services, athletic trainers, etc) and in asset-based industries (Airbnb hosts, Ebay sellers, etc). Ultimately, we make it easier to manage being a contractor, and allow people greater control over their economic freedom.
