We thought we were ready.

Bigger deals. Fewer customers. Better margins. That was the dream.

So we built enterprise features. SSO. Advanced permissions. Audit logs. A whole new pricing tier starting at $2,000/month.

We spent 6 months. Three engineers. One dedicated product manager. Endless meetings about "enterprise readiness."

Update: The Deel Leaderboard will no longer be going ahead today for the Paris event.

We re teaming up with The Pitch by @Deel, a global startup competition where up to 100 winners will receive $50k in funding and up to 10 winners will receive $1M+.

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).
