This is in essence what a service like Bark.com does. Not to say your version doesn't sound distinct. 'Bounties' sound more direct than Bark's system of scoring leads and charging for credits and credit packs. (a more detailed lead/bounty costs more credits/money to bid for). It sounds like your version would be a bounty being a budget from the poster and you'd take either a flat fee per bounty or a %? There may be reasons why Bark runs the model on credits (perhaps it simplifies their service?) but I personally like the angle you have if it means the Bounty shows the client budget up front. It's a weakness of Bark that jobs posted often lack budget information, making it hard to assess if a job is worth taking. On the other hand, the startups and small businesses posting jobs often have no idea how much to offer for a budget. That's a pain point you should look at addressing too. Essentially: definitely a market for this, it's all going to be in the execution, your idea sounds more direct than a leading competitor, but how do you deal with job posters who don't know how big a bounty should be?
