Zira raises $3.1M for its shift-scheduling service that helps manage hourly workers

This morning Zira raised $3.1 million in a seed round. The startup provides software that helps businesses schedule their hourly workforce in a more intelligent manner.
Software often fails to reach non-information workers, so it’s nice to see a startup focus on a somewhat forgotten demographic. General Catalystand Abstract Ventures led the round, which also saw participation from a number of angel investors.
This is the company’s first known investment, according to Crunchbase data.
