So this is an Saas platform for services businesses. To me the gig economy when it's fully implemented will take the old model 1/3 employee, 1/3 material costs, 1/3 owner costs or 1/2 employee, 1/2 owner costs and reduce it to 2/5 employee, 2/5 material, and 1/5 platform or 4/5 employee, 2/5 platform when no material is involved.
