Employees — our sweet spot
Expertise
Six disciplines. One vetted bench.
Diverse expertise for specific projects — without the time or resources normally needed to find and vet consultants individually.
Marketing
Growth strategy, paid acquisition, SEO, content and lifecycle — from launch plans to campaigns that convert.
Finance
Financial models, cash-flow forecasting, pricing, fundraising prep and bookkeeping cleanups done right.
Operations
Process audits, systems and automation, hiring plans and the playbooks that let you step off the treadmill.
Legal
Contracts, entity structure, IP, employment basics and compliance reviewed by practitioners who get small business.
Branding
Positioning, naming, visual identity and messaging that make a small team look — and feel — unmistakable.
Tech
Websites, integrations, no-code stacks, data and the pragmatic architecture decisions founders lose sleep over.
Why we're different
Go vertical, not horizontal.
Upwork, Toptal and Catalant try to serve everyone, in every discipline, at every size. We own one thing: consulting for small businesses. That focus is the whole product — deeper vetting, sharper matches and none of the noise.
Join the waitlistHow it works
From problem to progress in three steps.
Scope your project
Tell us the outcome you need in plain language. No lengthy job posts — just the problem, budget and timeline.
Get matched to vetted experts
We surface a shortlist of pre-vetted consultants who've solved your exact problem for businesses like yours.
Kick off with confidence
Agree on scope, pay securely through the platform and get to work. Funds release when milestones are met.
Every consultant is vetted
A rigorous, multi-step evaluation means you never gamble on an unproven freelancer again.
Matched to your project
Not a search box with 10,000 results — a curated shortlist tailored to your specific outcome.
Secure milestone payments
Funds are held and released against agreed milestones, so both sides stay protected end to end.
Built for small teams
Designed for owners with fewer than 30 people and solopreneurs — not enterprise procurement.
Social proof
Small teams, big outcomes.
A preview of the founding-member stories we're building toward. Illustrative examples.
I needed a financial model before a bank meeting and had no idea who to trust. I was matched with a consultant in a day and walked in prepared. This is the shortcut I wish I'd had years ago.

As a solopreneur I wear every hat badly. Creative Karma matched me with an ops consultant who rebuilt my fulfilment process in three weeks. My evenings are mine again.

The vetting is the whole thing. Everyone I spoke to actually understood a 12-person company. No enterprise jargon, no junior freelancer guesswork — just useful, senior help.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Upwork optimizes for volume and Toptal for elite generalists across every discipline. We go vertical instead of horizontal — a curated bench of consultants who specialize in small-business problems. Every expert is vetted for real operator experience, not just a portfolio, so you skip the endless proposals and screening.
Small business owners with fewer than 30 employees and solopreneurs who need specific expertise for a defined project but don't have the time or resources to source and vet consultants one by one.
Each consultant goes through a multi-step evaluation covering track record, references, domain depth and a work sample review. Only a small share of applicants make it onto the platform, so the matches you see are ones we'd trust with our own business.
Joining and browsing is free. When you complete a project, the platform takes roughly 17% of the project value — on an average $2,000 engagement that's about $340. There are no monthly seat fees or lock-in contracts for buyers.
Anything within our six core tracks: marketing, finance, operations, legal, branding and tech. Typical engagements include a go-to-market plan, a financial model, an operations audit, a contract review, a brand refresh or a website build.
