Contra - A new kind of professional network

Flexible work no longer means you need to sacrifice stability. Our goal at Contra is to not only help folks navigate their independent journey to find higher quality, fulfilling work, but to thrive while doing it. We could not be more elated to help solve this problem together with the PH community.

I remember the "click" moment I had when speaking to @kuizinas for the first time. The world was in a deep state of change, most of my friends had lost their traditional jobs and were frantically looking elsewhere for something to do, a tool that could help them put their skills and experiences in a spotlight. Traditional platforms are oversaturated with a marketing approach, spammy posts and soulless information. This tends to give the upper hand to social whales that can leverage their massive connections and resources, while leaving talented professionals on the sidelines. In a world where rapid change is needed, the current way of things was inefficient to say the least. That's when @kuizinas told me about Contra, and it just "clicked". This is the solution. A platform built by independents for independents. A platform that treats people's work with respect, a "platform" in the most true and pure form. No hidden fees, no complex requirements, no spam. Contra is a professional temple, true and assertive. Nobody knows how the future plays out, but I'm 100% Contra is in it. It's only natural, it's only innovation doing what it knows best. Solving problems. Only that in Contra, we also do it with style 😏

When I first joined the Contra community, I couldn't have imagined what the team at Contra were really up to. Now, after many months of growth, and the several opportunities for community members to partake in every step of the growth process (ambassadors and other programs), I see how much those early stage decisions meant for positioning the product in today's independent working ecosystem. Contra didn't just build the best freelance platform, but equally encouraged new and old freelancers alike, on how to stay on top of their game and own their stage. That is it for me; the community support and constant desire to help everyone grow. Best place, hands down!

Love the design, Contra makes freelancing fun and exciting!

It is amazing to see how Contra has managed to its community even before the, they have totally debunked the theory of not creating the hype. Hope that it goes as planned. Fingers crossed, Good luck Contra Team.

So unbelievably excited about this launch 🎉 Contra is building the infrastructure for the future of how we work & the 🤠 team is honored to be on the journey!

We want to be able to own our future, so independent work fits right in the life we all want. I've been lucky enough to be involved with Contra to see the product and the community grow over time. I'm excited about this launch so that all the independent workers out there can come together to find work and collaborate! Kudos to the team!

This is awesome

Definitely looking at exploring this platform, big fan of remote working communities and Contra is certainly on top.

It is difficult to wrap it up in just a sentence, but if meant to be, I would say: It is insane not to be with this bunch of upbeat people driving change; and it is fun @kuizinas good you "matched" with Ben.
