Our take

The quality of design work from freelance marketplaces can be unpredictable; but if you go to an independent design agency, the delays and cost of getting a project turned around can be too large to get work done at scale. For enterprises who need to do precisely this, Superside wants to offer something of a golden mean.

This comes in the form of a subscription service that links clients to a roster of designers and project managers - something like a hand-picked, pre-vetted version of Fiverr. Clients can then communicate with and oversee the work of their Superside designers through a streamlined design ops platform.

Whilst many companies say their products cut turnaround and costs, Superside’s top tier enterprise client roster shows it can back up its claims: Meta, Amazon, SalesForce, LVMH, and Shopify are all customers. The business model is sharp, too, as Superside can pitch at a premium price point to US enterprises, whilst outsourcing work globally to more affordable talent.
