Our Inspiration
Worklyn is an ode to our fathers, Carl and Marty - two octogenarians from Worcester, MA and Brooklyn, NY - who built their own businesses. Like our fathers, we admire businesses whose people are core to their value proposition. But unlike our fathers, we love technology, and we seek to partner with businesses that enable secure digital transformation while reducing risk.
