Our take

The contemporary workforce is undergoing a huge transformation, with freelancers presently constituting 40% of the labor force, and projections indicate this number will surge to 50% by 2030. This is a huge shift in the way the world works, however, the support tools available to freelancers have largely failed to keep pace with these transformative changes, remaining rooted in outdated practices.

Bonsai has embarked on a mission to challenge this. Providing business management software tailored to the unique needs of freelancers, Bonsai addresses critical administrative tasks such as managing contracts, proposals, invoices, payments, and handling accounting and tax matters. Bonsai's solution fills a crucial gap in the market, catering to the growing community of independent workers. The platform is now trusted by more than half a million freelancers and has earned the support of renowned investors, including Y Combinator, Matrix Partners, and Index Ventures.

With a vision of modernizing and improving the freelancing experience, Bonsai is at the forefront of transforming the way freelancers operate in the 21st century. The company's success and rapid growth reflect its dedication to facilitating the global shift towards independent careers, making it more efficient and rewarding for both freelancers and businesses alike.
