YellowBird
On-demand AI-powered marketplace connecting organizations with vetted EHS and safety professionals.
Overview
YellowBird is an AI-powered EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) and risk management platform that connects enterprises with vetted safety professionals on demand. Founded in 2019 by Michael Zalle in Phoenix, Arizona, the platform operates as a marketplace -- described by the company as "Salesforce meets Palantir meets Upwork" for professional services delivery -- that analyzes thousands of data points to match organizations with the right safety expert for each job, location, and timeline.
The platform enables companies to access safety and compliance services without expanding internal headcount, entering long-term contracts, or managing administrative overhead. YellowBird has built a network of 5,000+ registered professionals operating in 42 states across the US, serving 25+ enterprise clients across construction, manufacturing, logistics, insurance, automotive, energy, and facilities management.
For insurance carriers and brokers, YellowBird provides scalable loss control infrastructure -- enabling policyholders to access site inspections, risk evaluations, and proactive safety assessments without insurers maintaining large internal loss control departments. The company has demonstrated 2x year-over-year revenue and supply growth for two consecutive years.
