> Not sure how competing with firms with the exact same business model on Clutch requires VC funding, but OK. Best of luck.

We are not competing with agencies from Clutch, that's our second target audience after startups. We help agencies scale faster while working with designers on the platform.

Awesomic is not an agency, it's a super simple tool where you can start working with a designer on the same day. And then constantly receive everyday updates on your design task.

Why do we need VC? Because we have 0 design managers and have no plans to hire ones. Instead, everything is managed by our product – platform. Most of the tasks are matched automatically by an algorithm.

And for the designer – Awesomic is a better solution versus platforms like Upwork or Fiverr. Designers don't like to hunt for the next freelance project, feel insecure to negotiate, but they are passionate about design. So Awesomic gives them what they want while caring about everything else.
