That's a reasonable question. The short answer is that, when I was trying to hire contractors at my last startup, sites like Upwork had low-skill labor, and I had trouble sifting through their communities to find the high-skill contractors that I needed. We are working on a smaller, more curated community with startup experience and more specialization. We are tailoring it for a narrow group of more experienced talent. Our goal is to avoid the problem that plagues other sites of having low-skill/low-cost workers displace higher-skill workers as they scale. We have found a model that provides large amounts of high-skill talent, and we value contractor quality over scaling. We think that the market is shifting to more high-skill workers, e.g. https://qz.com/1152683/indian-it-layoffs-in-2017-top-56000-led-by-tcs-infosys-cognizant/ https://qz.com/1152683/indian-it-layoffs-in-2017-top-56000-l...
