🏰 Moat Strategy

Curated dataset and trust earned through consistent verification creates a two-sided network effect where top professionals only want to be listed on the platform with highest signal.

⏰ Why Now?

Post-2022 regulatory tightening created a new class of specialists. These professionals now want a dedicated platform rather than competing with generalist freelancers.

Risks & Mitigation

executionhigh severity

Maintaining verification quality at scale

Mitigation
