In collaboration with Vouch

Vouch is a digital word-of-mouth talent and gig marketplace with commissions for dot-connectors. Gig posters on Vouch can streamline talent searches via curated community referrals and freelancers can get more gig opportunities tailored to their unique skill sets and passions thanks to their friends’ vouches.

Purpose-built for creatives, emerging brands, and small businesses, our goal is to empower people to monetize the work they love to do while staying safe when working with new clients. Vouch also focuses on rewarding vouchers for the value they add in making the world a more connected place and for reducing the degrees of separation within their networks.
