Braintrust is the world's first user owned and governed talent market place for freelancers. It has had fantastic growth in the last 18 months, 22 mio in revenue, a global community of 700,000 and 100 companies of the Fortune 1000 as users.
In this episode, the co-founder, Adam Jackson tells us how it works and why freelancers make much more in this platform than on privately owned platforms. He describes the role of the token and Ethereum. We also discuss Web3, which services on the internet can be decentralized and which cannot and how he thinks Web3 will create new business models.
