Overview

Braintrust is the first freelance talent marketplace that is owned by its users.

Our core beliefs:

  • While talent is equally distributed around the world opportunity is not.
  • The old models are of how people work are dull, outdated and in urgent need of reinvention.
  • People should be able to do the work they love, on their own terms, and keep 100% of the value.

That’s why we decided to start Braintrust. To build the future of work.

We’re on the cutting edge of a massive shift in the way that people work. Our platform enables talented people around the world to connect with organizations needing highly skilled workers for mission-critical projects.  Braintrust leverages blockchain technology to ensure incentives stay aligned across all network participants: freelancers, organizations that need talent, and those that help build the network.

We’re founded by 3 successful serial entrepreneurs:  Adam Jackson, Gabriel Luna-Ostaseski and Brian Flynn. We raised a $5m seed round from leading Silicon Valley investors including IDEO, True Ventures, Homebrew, Galaxy Digital and Uprising.

Come build the future of work with us.
