Hi everyone, If you’re reading this now, I want to say thank you for your interest in Growwr. I wrote this yesterday and currently, I am somewhere panicking, hoping you'd love what Growwr does, and potentially give us an upvote! But while at that, I’d like to share with you the story of the birth of Growwr! 4 years ago, I was a top-rated talent on Upwork, I worked my ass off and maybe things were quite ok, but not really. Talent like myself face location bias in the freelance sector, get scammed by fake jobs, spend thousands of dollars to buy connects to bid on projects or promote themselves, don’t get paid on time, inconvenience in the payout system, and so much more. I didn’t feel valued as a talent on these platforms. And this story is common for over 150 million talents like myself in Africa. But not just within Africa, it happens even in other places as you know. According to research, 74% of freelancers don’t get paid on time, and 16% go unpaid. And well, these problems still exist in these platforms today, even after millions of talent have complained. Fast forward to recent times, where I have worked with over 200 Businesses in diverse sectors and confirmed a growing need to streamline hiring processes. Many businesses today spend up to 3 months filling up a role, and even hiring talent for freelance and contracts has been, well, a mess. If you’re a startup founder or small business owner, you can understand the problems with poor quality, unqualified talent you’ve hired, and poor work delivery, among many other issues. Well, that’s why we built Growwr - and here’s why we are better! 1. Our talent pool is vetted and verified. When hiring with Growwr, you are assured of great work performance and quality delivery, and your satisfaction matters to us. 2. We use smart skill-based algorithms to match jobs to talent - meaning that only the most qualified talent for the job gets it done. This process removes the bias that comes with hiring, it reduces time-to-hire by 70 to 90%, and it is more accurate. 3. Jobs are verified on Growwr - all jobs are reviewed and payment is secured, no room for job scammers or spam. 4. We support over 180 currencies - so you can pay for services or receive your earnings in your local currency. 5. No buying of connects to bid on projects or paying to promote your profile - Talent skills speak for themselves, if you are the most qualified for the job, you deserve the job. No room for paid partiality. 6. We love and listen to our users. We want to Growwr, so we are very eager to hear your views and complaints and make necessary changes to help the freelance ecosystem. We are hirers and talents like yourselves, we are always here to support you. 7. Talent gets paid early - 100% financial security. Every talent deserves their paycheck just like they delivered their jobs well. If you read to this point, thank you so much - it means you’re a potential Growwr user. Honestly, I am still panicking, hoping you will like what we are doing and give us an upvote. Please sign up as a recruiter (client) or talent, and let’s hear what you think about Growwr!

We are currently raising our pre-seed to push Growwr forward. If you are investing or know someone, ping me at obinna@growwr.co. I will be in the comment answering your questions 😎 Thank you so much, and like I always say, look out for Growwr! 🥳🤞🏽

Fantastic tool - Given the state of UpWork & Fiverr, this is exactly the sort of shake-up that we need to get quality back onto the platforms! I'm a big fan of the fact that you have the vetted & verified promise on the platform - Looking to finding potential leads on here.
