Company mission

Twine's mission is to help companies hire quality freelancers, and to scale their business.

Our take

Freelancers are an important part of many modern businesses, but finding the right freelancer for a job can be very difficult, especially without a dedicated recruitment team. Twine solves this problem by connecting companies with a vast network of handpicked, pre-vetted freelancers.

Recent years have seen a rise in the number of freelancers worldwide, and more businesses are turning to freelance workers. This move was accelerated considerably by the COVID-19 pandemic, and Twine benefited hugely from this shift. Twine now boasts a network of over 400,000 freelancers. The quantity and the quality of its freelancers helps set the business apart from rivals.

Twine has consolidated its growth with impressive funding, testament to the quality of their network. The company's revenue model has already proven itself, and with demand for freelancers continuing to rise, Twine stands to make impressive gains in the future.
