Mila is a Swiss-based tech company that builds online marketplaces for big brands to help them deliver additional customer service through crowdsourcing. They provide different partners (such as Swisscom and Vodafone Germany) with an online marketplace that allows its customers to "rent a geek".
Mila was established in 2013 by Swiss-based technology company Coresystems, which specializes in building mobile platforms. In March 2013, the start-up announced that it had received 3 million Swiss Francs (US$3.22 million or €2.5 million) in funding from a consortium of private Swiss and German technology investors, including former SAP AG board member Peter Zencke and former Swisscom Mobile AG CEO Adrian Bult.
Mila has offices based in Zurich, Berlin, and Cluj-Napoca. It is announced that further funding will be used to expand the market in Indonesia and China.
In November 2013, the company partnered with Swiss telecom provider Swisscom to launch "Swisscom Friends", a support platform for service purchase.
In May 2013, Mila released apps for Android and iPhone. A newer version of the app was released in 2017 for providers and customers.
