Our current thesis is that job boards are painful to wade through, especially for experienced devs looking to freelance.

Our current model involves connecting devs to good clients (i.e. people who've done this sort of thing before), who we screen ourselves (and because we've done freelance development ourselves, we know what to look for).

This scares me off completely. Not that I doubt that I am good at my job. All morality aside, who are you to know who is? A Rails dev and an investment banker.


It's amazing how incredibly conceited the website comes off. CTRL + F "talent", 7 matches.

You'd think that two guys who think of themselves as "entrepreneurs" would know not to say stuff like that.


Do you let in devs that just want to have a look, without freelancing at the moment? And is that just for on site work?


We'll certainly have conversations with devs who are interested in the concept.

Our clients are primarily located in SF and NYC. I'd say about 20% of our clients are okay with remote work though.
