From a freelancer's perspective, I would be the only one working on a project for a industry I choose [as you had suggested].

Wouldn't this require some form of prior experience in that industry?

Just wanted to know whether we do need prior experience in a specific industry.

I don't think so—that's why you're out looking for someone with domain knowledge. For me, I really want to work in the food/restaurant space but I've never owned/managed one. So I found people who do.
