Minimum Viable Product

Pick launched yesterday (hooray!) and we now have over 200 freelancers with quality portfolios.  Goal is 1000 by the end of the week, so please keep reaching out to freelance friends. The site gets really interesting when we have about 10 freelancers in the same genera in the radius of the client.  

We launched early, way earlier than anyone was comfortable.  We launched with the least amount of features that we could get away with.  Now we have freelancers using the site, we can prioritize what to release next.  

What is on Pick right now is about 1/3 of the features the site needs to really tick.  I have a good guess on the 2/3 of the features, but the last 1/3 is going to come directly from listening to our passionate freelancers and clients.  

We are pushing features and launches daily, so keep checking it out.

Notes On Launch

Launch day.

So exciting, but this is just launch day #1.  Launch day is now everyday.  

Our product is very simple, and as it stands is not a product that is going to spread like wildfire.  My goal is to have 1000 talented freelancers in Pick by the end of the week.  1000 freelancers that are now searchable to clients looking for talented freelancers in their area at their pricepoint.  

We are working on more features and launches (but will still keep it simple).  Priority #1 is making sure the portfolios are how the freelancers like them (get in touch if you want help make them better).

Thanks for checking out the site, we are quite thrilled.  Full push as soon as we get over the anxiety of brand new software.
