Our Story

iWorker was founded as a social enterprise by two American entrepreneurs, with the aim of providing quality work to Venezuelans. Both living in Argentina as digital entrepreneurs, they had come to know many Venezuelan immigrants living in Argentina whose stories from back home — of food lines, hunger, crumbling hospitals and schools, and an annual inflation rate of nearly a million per cent — affected them deeply.

They also knew, however, that Venezuelans tend to be highly intelligent and industrious and that they could be a great asset to companies all over the world. Having used remote workers themselves to rapidly scale their own businesses and, with over a decade of combined experience between them in remote hiring, they knew how powerful of a business multiplier it can be to learn how to delegate day-to-day tasks to others. After many years of trial-and-error themselves, they had become experts in how to recruit and train talented and reliable remote workers.

They built iWorker with the aim of providing Venezuelan professionals and others in situations of economic desperation stable, dignified work, thereby generating opportunities for them to improve their lives, support their families, and grow their local economies. In this journey, they were lucky to be joined by Enrique Yervez, a Venezuelan entrepreneur who had managed multiple teams of Venezuelan remote workers for several 7-figure businesses.
