We are a Teacher founded and Teacher focused Team.

Our story began with a Teacher who was facing an all too common issue.

Finding a sub.

The founding story of Subbey is rooted in the determination of a passionate teacher, Shea McGee, who witnessed his administration and fellow educators grappling with the recurring challenge of getting teacher’s relief when they needed a day off. Schools like Shea’s rely on Teachers to text, email, and call Subs until they have one that wants the Job.

Let’s not forget the value of a mental health day. Teachers need to be encouraged to take time for themselves but for a lot of Schools, it’s more of a headache to take off than Teachers may find worth it.

Shea wasted no time in mobilizing a team of motivated app developers and seasoned business advisors. Together, they embarked on an ambitious journey to develop an app that could revolutionize how substitute teachers were recruited and managed.

In the 2022-2023 school year, Subbey held its first pilot program in schools, eager to test the efficiency and functionality of the app. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of Subbey's transformative impact on the education landscape, as it sought to empower schools and streamline the substitute teaching experience.

Subbey's future looks incredibly promising as it continues to address the long-standing substitute teacher problem for small and private schools. With its proven success during the pilot program, Subbey is ready to embark on an exciting journey of growth.

Expanding its services to more schools, Subbey aims to revolutionize the way substitute teaching is done, ensuring that students never face disruptions in their education due to teacher absences.

The future of Subbey holds the promise of bringing efficiency and ease to the substitute teacher hiring process, ultimately revolutionizing the way schools operate.
