Ricardo Batista tells the story of how he and his co-founder were fed up spending lots of time pitching gigs on Upwork…
UpWork and others do a bad job at filtering and matching, so we scratched our own itch and built gigsent.com
I like their thought process…
- Here’s a frustration we have with Upwork.
- Upwork is a massive platform (18M freelancers, $756M annual revenue).
- So lots of other people also have this frustration.
- Let’s build a product that eases that frustration.
No idea if their product is good or if it will make much money – that will ultimately depend on their marketing efforts – but the idea seems solid.
Do you use a popular product or service regularly?
Are there any big problems with it?
If so, consider creating a “piggyback” product or service to solve that problem.
