Platform for startups low on cash to loan their teams to startups in need of expertise/capacity
Hi there! I started creating a platform this past weekend, and would love to have some help, as there seems to be a real need right now and I don't think I can do it properly by myself. The idea is very simple - match startups with extra capacity and too much overhead (or too little cash) with companies who could use those the capacity and expertise for short-term projects or support. This avoids having to layoff employees during this, and gives team members a unique opportunity to gain some new experience! www.deployee.io is the MVP I put together on Sharetribe to get up it quickly. It got a great response from a couple tweets and a LinkedIn post, and I've got about 40 sign-ups, most of which are real startup founders. I'm non-technical, but really like no-code building. I would love to have someone more technical join this - to help customize either off of Sharetribe, or another platform - but I'm open to anyone who thinks they can contribute! This make work as a closed marketplace-style platform where startups create their own listings, but there are certainly other ways to tackle this problem. Questions? Interest? Knock-knock jokes? Hope everyone has a great couple weeks building!
