Pangea is an amazing platform that empowers talented individuals to find fulfilling & rewarding work opportunities. The ability to connect talented individuals with founders through a shareable profile is fantastic and allows for great flexibility and ease of use. It's impressive to see a company that prioritizes the needs and interests of its users by providing commission-free work options that ultimately lead to full-time employment. Congrats to Pangea for providing a valuable service that benefits both job seekers and businesses alike!

Congrats on the re-launch! Great thinking. After spending many tens of thousands of dollars on contracts with TopTal, I'd love to explore alternate options that aren't percentage based commissions (and where the talent gets most of the money).
Adam Alpert
@fixie Thanks Jordan! We heard the same thing time and time again - paying $75 an hour but getting someone who was only making $35... It's the problem with the entire staffing industry model. And on top of that they make it super hard (and expensive) if you try to hire someone you like as a full-time W2 (Toptal is around $30,000 to offboard someone). It came up as a complaint on nearly every call we had, except for the one guy who really liked lighting money on fire for some reason.

I downloaded Pangea a year ago and it has changed my life ever since! It has given me tons of opportunities to develop my professional career. Beautifully designed and very easy to use! I love the new commission-free aspect which distinguishes it from other freelance platforms that charge a fat 20% fee. I would recommend it to everyone!! Congratulations on this new launch!
Tae Sam Lee Zamora

Congrats on the Launch @adam_alpert3. Pangea is an excellent platform for freelancers like me to help round out our schedules and make connections and build long-term relationships with clients. And I love the new commission-free marketplace and Pangea's steps to keep the scammers and spammers off the platform. Keep up the excellent work and I can't wait to explore the new look and feel!
Adam Alpert
@roostercycle Well said Kai!! We've really been focused on listening to talent and not being afraid of making some bold changes. Without the feedback from folks like you, Pangea wouldn't be what it is today!
Charlie Robinson
@roostercycle Feedback like this is what keeps me motivated. Thank you so much!
William Bornschein
Way to go on the relaunch! Also, just curious: what industries do you all plan will be the most popular to connect with on here? I know there have been multiple success stories of college students and post-grad individuals finding great work, and am wondering what the most influential industries will be!
Adam Alpert
@william_bornschein Hey Will! We've been seeing ventures ranging from hot DTC CPG brands to vc-backed tech startups to climate-tech; as well as some hospitality/real-estate firms, trendy retail, and non-profits using Pangea. You can browse every company on Pangea by industry, size, and funding :)
William Bornschein
@adam_alpert3 Fantastic! I am excited to see where things go, and how everything grows on this platform! Thank you Adam!

Morgan Lucas
I like it so far; My one nitpick is, for the default images for projects, maybe have more than one variation on the default image. An agent/recruiter is so busy, they may think that it's the same project posted twice and not look further.
Andrew Thompson
@runtcpip Thanks for the feedback Morgan! I'll let our product team know
Tae Sam Lee Zamora
@runtcpip this is a great idea! will make sure to add it to our list of priorities.
John Tambunting
@runtcpip You make a good point Morgan! We'll definitely consider this, and hopefully make an update for it soon!
