Most of the gigs we've gathered thus far have been through industry connections and relationships through previous agencies (many from the northwest). We manually evaluate and screen every employer/project submitted, as we know it's a pain in the ass to sift through crappy projects.
- aymeric 15y agoThis strategy will work for the first few projects but how will you attract more quality gigs to feed the army of startups that will knock at your door :)? You are faced with the same challenge a normal web dev shop faces: how do I get more quality gigs? Except that you have to get enough gigs for a lot of teams or you will end up serving the same teams over and over again. I sincerely wish you success as I am interested by your concept (although I am based in Australia and my startup is not part of any premium incubator).
- whather 15y agoTotally agree. As of right now, our business in its current state isn't hugely scalable. We're high touch on both sides of the table. As we begin to scale, we'll have to make sure we maintain both talented startup teams and high quality projects. Because talent is in such high demand, it makes more sense to limit the signup of talented startups first and cater to the demand from employers. Then, slowly grow the startup pool. Oh and one for my co-founders has connections in Australia if you're interested.
