Samasource leverages technology to create jobs for the next billion – women, youth, and marginalized people living below the poverty line.
For US-based companies, Samasource provides an alternative to standard providers of outsourced services like data entry, transcription, content updating, virtual assistance, and basic coding with a network of pre-screened, socially responsible companies. Currently, Samasource’s clients include large consumer websites, Facebook application developers, nonprofits, and socially responsible companies.
Samasource providers must pass a rigorous quality and social impact screening which includes site visits, personal interviews, and reference checks. They adhere to common sales, project management and payment methods, and must agree to a code of conduct that includes progressive labor and environmental policies.
Samasource is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social business, based in San Francisco and founded in mid-2008. The organization received seed funding from International Business in Development Challenge and the Stanford Social Enterprise Challenge.
