I've seen few more but forgot the names.

There are multiple marketplaces for software... Start from Appsumo

Finally some real scientist involved on ChatGPT topic will help you learn more about Ai and LLM.

Maybe...

So that's what I am trying to build, the relationship where customer talks directly to a freelancers but as a marketplace we will provide billing, legal, payment processing. I want to enable freelancers to work in teams, and gain trust of big clients instead of few thousand bucks gigs.

I love how you described most of the agencies as a body shops, they truly are. You talk to a salesman instead of the team you want to work with. That would be the reason for many projects failing and being overpriced.

The problem with agencies is they are overcharging, once you hire an agency you have to pay for their rent, their utilities, their overhead cost. It's all included in the hourly rates of the person you hire. So instead of paying 10 things I would rather pay just for a skills of a person.

In the past 5 years I work with multiple freelancers, I helped numerous companies hire reliable teams of freelancers. Right now I operate with 15+ freelance teams, but yes, when you build the trust scaling is the problem. That is exactly what I am facing right now, how to scale with the trust.

I will try to figure that out, and thank you for sharing your views it will help me a lot.

The word freelancer seems to be wrapped in this gig thing, when you say freelancers to people they immediately think of low cost few days job.

Yes it's true that web is flooded with tons of random people calling themselves freelancers and they are ruining the reputation of others by upselling low skills for low price.

I am working now on a platform to actually build trust in freelancers and enable them form teams to take on bigger projects as teams so let's see how that will work out.

Yeah I totally agree, but there seems to be no trust in freelancers when it comes to big projects.
