New York, USA – 29th Jan 2026 – Prograd, a UK-based platform that helps young people access online earning opportunities, has officially launched across the United States. The app connects users with flexible, entry-level income options that can be completed remotely, as many young workers face rising living costs and financial pressure.
Prograd offers access to paid surveys and basic online tasks that require no prior experience and can be completed in short periods of time. All opportunities are available within a single mobile-first platform. The U.S. launch coincides with continued growth in side-hustle participation, with recent surveys indicating that more than one-third of U.S. adults earn income outside their primary job, particularly among Gen Z and millennials.
“We built Prograd to make it easier for people to access legitimate ways to earn money online,” said Ethan Fraenkel, Co-Founder of Prograd. “After seeing strong adoption in the UK—where users have collectively earned more than £5 million—we identified similar conditions in the U.S., including higher costs of living and limited flexibility in traditional work.”
Inflation has continued to affect the cost of essentials such as groceries, rent, and utilities, with younger workers often disproportionately impacted. As a result, many are seeking supplemental income options that do not require fixed schedules or formal hiring processes.
Through Prograd, users can browse available opportunities and begin completing tasks shortly after signing up, with activity and earnings managed directly within the app.
“This isn’t about replacing full-time work,” Fraenkel added. “It’s about providing an option for people who want to make use of small amounts of available time in a practical way.”
As work patterns continue to evolve, Prograd enters the U.S. market as one of a growing number of platforms responding to demand for flexible, online income opportunities.
Prograd is now available to users in the United States at prograd.app/us.
