Hey there, Product Hunt community! π
Iβm Adam, co-founder of Pangea, and Iβm thrilled to share our relaunch with you.
At Pangea, we believe the future of work should be flexible, and we've redesigned our platform to enable work on your own terms.
So, what's new?
π We've opened up Pangea to everyone who is looking to grow in their professional careers.
π We've dropped all talent-side fees and commissions to 0%, making us a commission-free talent marketplace.
β We now verify companies before giving them access to the platform or allowing them to post jobs.
π§ Talent is now discoverable by our private network of clients, who can reach out to you directly with opportunities.
π You can now browse 1,000+ companies by industry, size, and funding and connect with them via shareable profiles with a single click.
We're excited to hear your thoughts and feedback on our relaunch! Join us in becoming the #1 place where people find meaningful work on their own terms! ππ
(also, thanks @mwseibel for the hunt!)
Hey Y'all!
My name is John, I'm one of the Co-founders of Pangea.app, and I'm really excited to share what we've been building!
We hope Pangea will resonate with people who have tried using traditional freelance platforms in the past but experienced the misalignments in incentives and want a better alternative.
The large mark-ups on all paid invoices, the limitations in converting to full-time teammates, and the general sketchiness on both sides of these marketplaces are things we want to address at Pangea.
By charging companies an annual membership to join the network instead of commission fees and off-boarding fees, we can promote better platform dynamics for both talent and companies.
As a startup, we've experienced the benefits of working with talent on a contract-to-hire basis. It's a great way to learn if the working relationship is a good fit for both sides.
Thanks for checking us out!
@ujwal_kumar2 Thanks for the kind words Ujwal! At the moment, our platform is geared towards freelancers working alone, but we'll let you know if we pursue agency accounts.
@ujwal_kumar2 Currently I know that some Pangeans create a Talent profile with their agency name and projects! We will bring this up in our product convo.
@andrewthhompson In that case, is there a possibility of a community feature, however limited? I'd like something that keeps me going back to the site and not only waiting on alerts.
I started using Pangea in 2020 for small projects here and there throughout the pandemic. After graduation in 2021, I used it to build and scale my full-time freelance business. I've now made over $100k on Pangea alone. Quite literally, my career wouldn't be where it is today without the product.
Killer product. (and an even better team)
@grace_lemire1 Here are some random facts about goats:
1. Goats are incredibly agile and can jump up to 5 feet in the air.
2. Goats have a four-chambered stomach that helps them digest their food thoroughly.
3. Grace is THE goat

@aqil_rashid
Always there to lend a helping hand,
Quick to offer guidance and the sort,
Inspiring us to reach new heights,
Loyal friend, we appreciate your support.
@vishal_jayraj oh what a goose chase it is my friend... That's why we're particularly excited about the feature that gives talent direct access to companies (instead of job posts) - so talent can put themselves in a different lane entirely in front of companies they are genuinely excited about
Pangea is an amazing platform that empowers talented individuals to find fulfilling & rewarding work opportunities. The ability to connect talented individuals with founders through a shareable profile is fantastic and allows for great flexibility and ease of use. It's impressive to see a company that prioritizes the needs and interests of its users by providing commission-free work options that ultimately lead to full-time employment. Congrats to Pangea for providing a valuable service that benefits both job seekers and businesses alike!
So impressed with the update and with the team as a whole! I will always be grateful to Pangea for helping me find multiple work opportunities and welcoming me into their community, keep up the great work!
Congrats on the launch of Pangea! This looks like an amazing tool for connecting talented professionals with startup opportunities. Can't wait to see how it helps the growth of aspiring entrepreneurs.
Congrats on the re-launch! Great thinking. After spending many tens of thousands of dollars on contracts with TopTal, I'd love to explore alternate options that aren't percentage based commissions (and where the talent gets most of the money).
@fixie Thanks Jordan! We heard the same thing time and time again - paying $75 an hour but getting someone who was only making $35... It's the problem with the entire staffing industry model. And on top of that they make it super hard (and expensive) if you try to hire someone you like as a full-time W2 (Toptal is around $30,000 to offboard someone). It came up as a complaint on nearly every call we had, except for the one guy who really liked lighting money on fire for some reason.
I downloaded Pangea a year ago and it has changed my life ever since! It has given me tons of opportunities to develop my professional career. Beautifully designed and very easy to use! I love the new commission-free aspect which distinguishes it from other freelance platforms that charge a fat 20% fee. I would recommend it to everyone!! Congratulations on this new launch!
Congrats on the Launch @adam_alpert3. Pangea is an excellent platform for freelancers like me to help round out our schedules and make connections and build long-term relationships with clients. And I love the new commission-free marketplace and Pangea's steps to keep the scammers and spammers off the platform. Keep up the excellent work and I can't wait to explore the new look and feel!
@roostercycle Well said Kai!! We've really been focused on listening to talent and not being afraid of making some bold changes. Without the feedback from folks like you, Pangea wouldn't be what it is today!
Way to go on the relaunch! Also, just curious: what industries do you all plan will be the most popular to connect with on here? I know there have been multiple success stories of college students and post-grad individuals finding great work, and am wondering what the most influential industries will be!
@william_bornschein Hey Will! We've been seeing ventures ranging from hot DTC CPG brands to vc-backed tech startups to climate-tech; as well as some hospitality/real-estate firms, trendy retail, and non-profits using Pangea.
You can browse every company on Pangea by industry, size, and funding :)
Pangea has been instrumental in developing my freelance client base, gaining confidence and building my skills, and connecting with other like-minded students and alumni. Happy to be a part of the community!
I like it so far; My one nitpick is, for the default images for projects, maybe have more than one variation on the default image. An agent/recruiter is so busy, they may think that it's the same project posted twice and not look further.
Excellent Website. I was able to find a flexible gig in no time. The website design is well crafted, and provides a seamless user experience. Looking forward for many more years using Pangea to find gigs and more.
