Noah Labhart ‘05 joins us today to talk about his on-demand marketplace for manufacturing labor, Veryable Incorporated. Noah breaks down challenges, opportunities, and solutions he sees within the industry, and tells us maybe the biggest BHAG we’ve heard on the show. We appreciate Noah for dropping his wisdom on this week’s episode, and we encourage you to check out his podcast, Code Story! Thanks and Gig ‘em!

About: Veryable’s mission is to revitalize the American manufacturing sector by allowing businesses to “variablize” labor costs in small increments. This lets them increase costs only as their output increases, which will empower businesses to scale while maintaining a lower and more constant cost structure.

We aim to achieve this through our technology, which enables us to transform an antiquated and inefficient labor market into a real-time marketplace for labor. This will put more people to work and relieve the burden on producers, improving overall productivity and enabling organic growth.
