About Little Big Connection

Established in 2013, LittleBig Connection operates as a technology-driven platform designed to address the evolving dynamics of the global workforce. The company facilitates connections between large corporations and a diverse pool of external talent, including freelancers and consultants. The business has demonstrated significant growth, reporting revenues of €400 million in 2023 and projecting a turnover of €500 million in 2025. The company's international expansion has been a key strategic focus, with operations now spanning 50 countries and supported by a team of 400 employees across various global offices.

LittleBig Connection's business model is centered on a dual-offering structure. The 'Connect' marketplace provides companies with access to a community of 500,000 experts for sourcing specialized skills. Complementing this is 'Rise', a comprehensive Vendor Management System (VMS) that enables purchasing departments to manage the entire lifecycle of external resources, from sourcing and project management to payment processing. This all-in-one platform is designed to integrate into a client's existing ecosystem, streamlining the management of both external and internal workforces. The company primarily serves large enterprises, with 90% of its clientele having more than 5,000 employees. Revenue is generated through its platform which simplifies transactions and ensures compliance, for example by automating invoicing as soon as a timesheet is completed.

Significant milestones in the company's history include its international launch in 2017 and being recognized in the Financial Times' 2020 rankings of Europe's fastest-growing companies. The company's platform has managed 80,000 projects and processed €5 billion in expenses through its Rise platform. A notable initiative is the 'Connect for Good' offering, launched to help clients find experts for their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development projects. The firm has also developed an internal program called 'Unlock' to incubate talent for opening offices in new international markets, underscoring its commitment to global expansion.
