In a world where gig economy platforms extract value from workers, Opolis is building a cooperative alternative. With $16.4M in funding, this isn't just another payroll app—it's a fundamental reimagining of how independent workers access benefits and stability.

"Opolis isn't selling software to freelancers—it's building a union they actually own."

The tech stack tells a story of pragmatic development. Built on jQuery, Bootstrap, and Tailwind CSS, it's not chasing the latest framework trends. Instead, they're focused on reliability and accessibility—critical for a platform handling payroll and benefits. The 28% organic search traffic suggests they're investing in content (evidenced by their blog) to attract the right audience.
