Dan Johnston, Co-Founder & CEO of WorkStep, was inspired by his experience as a manager of a third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse to change the temporary staffing model within the supply chain industry. Before WorkStep, Dan founded, with his sister, InstaEDU, an online and in-person tutoring business. InstaEDU wanted to become a scalable on-demand tutoring platform, so it decided to sell its in-person tutoring business, Cardinal Scholars, to Course Hero. Later, InstaEDU raised a Seed round led by Social Capital and a Series A round led by Battery Ventures before being acquired by Chegg.
