Simply launch app, broadcast your work status to people in your phonebook network (and people near by). Get notified when someone wants to hire you and close the deal quickly.
Sounds cool. What are the verticals that you are targeting?
Thanks. Currently, looking at use cases where trust is a key issue (eg tutor for kids, home cleaning, babysitter). 'Uber for X' doesnt work when suppliers are not commoditized. In such cases, you need a Twitter model, where leadgen happens via referral and workers get hired based on connections
