What stage of the product or idea are you (and your team) at? Is it live on Harmony and/or another chain? How many active users do you currently have, or aim to acquire? How much funding do you need? What are your milestones? What help do you need, or what gaps are there in your team?]

For our GTM strategy we have begun creating a discord community to continue to keep those interested in engaged and to identify those that would support the build out of the platform.

We currently have over 1000 active users and over 4000 freelancers that have signed up for beta.

We are looking to raise $500,000 to solidify the tokenomics of the platform as well as payout portion of the platform after talent and companies are connected and have agreed on working together. We currently have gaps in a web3 tech skillset.

Isn’t it racist to be classified as only black freelancers?

Generalizing the project as freelancers and not segregating people by color should be important to the community’s perspective.

This should be taken into account when evaluating.
