We built a platform that lets businesses assemble and manage custom software teams remotely.

Essentially, we make it easy for companies to get high-quality software built without hiring full-time staff or managing freelancers individually.

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based there as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the tech talent, investors, and early enterprise customers are concentrated. Being here helps us recruit the right team, raise capital, and build relationships with businesses that need custom software.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Gigster в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Gigster (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Gigster представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
