    • Work and/or hire remotely or in-person with other local freelancers

    • In-app messaging, phone calls and video chat for real-time communication

    User Experience:

    • Real people, real names, not businesses or brick and mortars

    • Every freelancer’s price is publicly displayed to save the hassle of contacting numerous providers to receive price quotes

    • Similar to Uber, integrated payments, no need to handle payment processing outside the app

    • Timed deadlines for accepting and completing jobs

    • Jobs don’t start until job is fully funded and payment is only made when job meets client’s satisfaction

    • Every job done gets reviewed, no need for freelancer to ask client for a review

    • Every review is a paying customer

    • Social media integration – Built in functionality to promote to your social media channels
