Those are all great points, but I want to differentiate matchist from "these sorts of services." We focus on making quality connections to people you would otherwise not meet (whether geographic barriers, time limits, etc). Services in the past have worked on automating these interactions and end up in a price war towards the bottom: we get to know devs as people and only give them projects they would pick themselves. We want to streamline freelance so that freelancers do what they do best instead of being in meetings all day.

how are you guys different from GroupTalent?

[startupstella]

My understanding is that GroupTalent works with bigger companies to subcontract freelance talent. We are not working with large companies, but entrepreneurs/agencies/smaller entities.

GT does work with startups. Most projects I was offered were in the idea phase or prototypes.

[startupstella]

that's good to know. another difference is that GT works with teams (correct me if I'm wrong) and matchist is currently one developer matching per project

[andyjsong]

They do both, but they have been moving towards a team package.
