What is Moonrise?

Moonrise is a digital platform that matches workers who need extra cash to make ends meet with companies that need to fill shifts. We are a social impact startup owned by American Family Insurance.  We were built with an ambitious goal: to innovate in a way that would help working families—many of them existing customers of The General, part of the American Family enterprise—that need a financial cushion in case of the unexpected. We traveled the country listening to financially vulnerable Americans and believe we can solve their deepest pain point - easy access to supplementary income. https://www.moonrise.works/
