Target Audience:
Solo entrepreneurs, small startup founders, and bootstrapped teams looking to efficiently assemble remote teams to finish projects and launch products without extensive hiring hassle.
Monetization:
Charging a commission or membership fee per successful hire, offering premium vetting or onboarding services, and providing ongoing collaboration tools with subscription plans.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
A trusted network of proven freelancers with a focus on ethical partnerships, tailored for solo founders, plus integrated project support to foster long-term, productive relationships.
Launch Strategy:
Start by creating a simple online directory of vetted freelancers, promote through startup communities and forums, and pilot with a few local founders seeking team help. Gather feedback, refine vetting, and expand the platform gradually.
