Problems

The gig economy is booming, but it's built on a broken foundation. Both freelancers and clients are navigating a landscape filled with inefficiency, high costs, and a fundamental lack of trust.

  • Constant Fear & Risk: Clients risk paying for poor-quality work. Freelancers risk completing a project only to never get paid. Every new interaction is a gamble, creating anxiety and limiting high-value collaboration.

  • Fake Resumes & Unverifiable Skills: Traditional résumés and platform reviews are easily manipulated. It's incredibly difficult and risky for employers to verify a freelancer's true capabilities, leading to costly hiring mistakes.

  • Your Reputation is Trapped: The hard-earned reputation you build on one platform (like Upwork or Fiverr) is held hostage. The moment you leave, years of positive reviews and successful projects vanish. You're forced to start from zero every single time.

  • Exploitative Fees & Unfair Disputes: Centralized platforms act as expensive middlemen, charging fees of up to 20% or more. When disputes arise, their resolution processes are often slow, opaque, and biased, leaving users feeling powerless.
