Company profile
researched Aug 2026Stackin' operates stackin.com, a consumer-facing website positioned around side hustles and personal finance. Its central product is a free job board for remote and part-time work aimed at "the modern side hustler," with listings that include employment type, remote status and hourly pay (examples shown span roughly $30 to $60 per hour) across roles such as customer support representative, software engineer, part-time bartender and freelance writer. The site states that listings are from real companies with "no hidden scams" and that access to the job board is free with no paywall; it asks users to leave reviews on Trustpilot rather than pay.
Alongside the job board, the site publishes editorial content organized into sections including Side Hustle Basics, Gig App Reviews (framed as identifying money-making apps of 2026), Job Hunting, Manage Your Money, and a news and events section called The Gig Apple. Corporate pages cover About Us, Contact, Become a Contributor, Advertising & Sponsorships, Partner With Us and Editorial Guidelines. Distribution channels listed include Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok and YouTube.
The company is also described as a text-message-based entry point into finance, using a custom messaging platform combined with data, machine learning and human input to send personalized messages that educate subscribers on saving money, reducing debt and starting to invest, with the stated aim of helping a younger consumer demographic build financial habits over time.
Business model
The website distributes job listings and personal-finance editorial content to consumers at no charge, explicitly with no paywall. Monetization pathways indicated on the site are advertising and sponsorships and partnerships, supported by contributor-generated editorial content; the messaging service is described as delivering curated products and tools to subscribers.
Traction
Reported at over one million subscribers to its financial messaging service.
