12 Freelancer Platform Success Stories [2023]

Hello! I’m one of the co-founders of CloudDevs. We started this company in 2019 with a mission to change things around in the tech talent-hiring industry. We launched for sales in March of 2020, right before the initial lockdown due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

We are proud to say that within our first year of sales, we reached 1 Million USD in GMV, and we are aiming higher this year.

Hi, my name is Sasa Janicijevic and I am the founder of Codemap.io, the world’s first freelance & agency marketplace for no-code, low-code, and automation. We match founders, startups, scaleups, and organizations of all sizes with pre-vetted no-code talent, on-demand. Codemap enables anyone to hire proven no-code experts to learn no-code or build their products, MVPs, and apps up to 10x cheaper and faster than with traditional development, and launch in a matter of 4-8 weeks or less.

With the no-code/low-code industry rapidly rising, we have started seeing strong demand for no-code expertise and education across different industries and customer segments. So far, it has been difficult to understand which no-code tool stack/s might be the best fit for respective requirements and goals as well as hire proven no-code specialists efficiently and in one place. We built Codemap with the specific aim of solving these problems.

My name is Abby and I am the founder of SkillSoniq. SkillSoniq is the world’s first AI-Powered recruiting app that connects companies with skilled, domestic freelancers and gives companies the option to hire a freelancer (s) on their payroll.

We launched in New York in early 2019, and made $350,000+ in Gross Revenues in the first year of launch in 2019 without spending a single dime on advertising! We are currently making $40,000 a month in gross revenues. In just the first year of launch, we signed up more than 100 clients, boarded 6,000+ freelancers on our platform, and received 4.9/5.0 google review ratings from our customers.

As you can see, it fluctuates quite a bit from month to month, but it’s pointing in the right direction.

Started as an all-remote company back in 2015 when remote work was still seen as an exotic perk reserved for digital nomads, Transformify grew up exponentially over the years.

Speaking of budgets, due to Covid-19, budget controls have become more robust than ever before and the businesses no longer have the luxury to underutilize their teams. The share of contingent workers and international contractors working on a project basis is constantly increasing. An interesting study published by SAP Fieldglass reveals that 42% of the workforce spend is already going to external resources - international contractors, consultants, guest lecturers, freelancers, etc.

Hi, I am Suvansh Bansal and I am the co-founder of Flexiple. We started Flexiple in Nov’15 to build a freelancing platform that enables “quality interactions” between companies and freelancers.
