Getbrains: Discover the future of freelance work

Hello PH Community! I just launched a new freelance platform different from the ones out there. With my experience as a freelancer software developer, the problems of this kind of work and the pain of not having a decent platform became more evident, like distrust in both sides and the inexperience of the freelancer in understanding project requirements. My best experience working as a freelancer was when I had a project manager in between. So, I thought would be a good idea to introduce an intermediary between the client and the freelancer: the project manager. The platform also has a review system based on recommendations and relevant data about past projects. If you're an experienced professional (like a senior dev), you can act as the PM and organize the tasks so the freelancer can execute them. You know the big picture and the requirements to succeed with the project, so why not? I would love to hear from the ProductHunt community your feedback. Regards, Matheus Almeida, Founder of Getbrains

It definitely addresses a problem. Complaints about lack of ownership and accountability plagues the freelancer category. Having a senior manage a freelancer team definitely solves this problem. However - how do you manage costs? Are you paying for the manager also? Because that might not be something that all clients would be comfortable with?

@iamaatoh Thanks for your feedback, Akshata! No, we're not paying PMs to manage projects. We ask for clients to make it clear what his budge is so the PM can see if it makes sense for him or not. For sure, that's not for all clients. As I said in other reply, that would work best for small to medium-sized businesses. Or the freelancer can see his earnings decresing also. I answear this question on the landing page.

@yasnokry Thanks, Yassine! I think that is not all freelance work that can be done by a single freelancer like in Fivver or Upwork. Imagine you have a complex problem or will need professionals from different areas, Getbrains can help with that. We also assume these professionals are good PMs, but that's not true. That would work best for small to medium-sized businesses, but who knows.
