Market
Customer Segments: Gig workers who enjoy flexible work arrangements and people who need help and personalized services for themselves, their families, and businesses.
Globally, the gig economy is worth 3.7 trillion dollars, the US alone is 1 trillion dollars yearly.
Problem or Opportunity
We have much room to grow. US's gig economy is worth 1 trillion dollars yearly. This value is brought about by 34% of the US workforce (or 55 million people). 3 Pain points - Supply: 1. Uncertainty of next gig 2. Wasted time searching for leads 3. Inability to monetize reviews. 3 Pain points - Demand: 1. Uncertainty of the quality and background of gig workers 2. Uncertainty of price charged 3. Feel like your voice is not heard when things go wrong.
Solution (product or service)
The lack of organization to turn need and skill into opportunities for more income and more jobs done for individual needs gives birth to Joulebook. We are a marketplace (not an employment agency, we don’t hire or employ any of the users on Joulebook). Joulebook is a single platform that helps people transact, manage, and organize the use of their time and money. It focuses on Personalized Services that matter most to individuals and families. The beauty of the marketplace is a convenient way to compare services, prices from a single source, and the exposure to services and service buyers.
Competitors
We pick 6 competitors who are also serving the gig economy and have already had traction: TaskRabbit, Freelancer, Upwork, Fiverr, Thumbtack, Care.
Advantages or differentiators
We are a team of 8 people, working hard for over a year together with a total of over 70 years of experience building and enabling world-class technological solutions.

We offer 4 features that you don't find anywhere else: 1. Focus on personalized services 2. Workday arrangement 3. Blind bidding 4. Pre-sell time.
