Our take
The marketplace for freelancers is not only thriving but rapidly growing. Freelancers are valuable additions to the world of the digital workforce, with estimates predicting the majority of the US workforce will be freelancing by 2027.
Vicoland is setting out to build a platform focused on the growing demand for freelancers, allowing companies to use their site to source cost-effective professional teams of freelancers. Standing out from the crowd, Vicoland essentially gives freelancers the opportunity to create their own startups.
Having already secured clients such as Netflix and Tupperware, as well as being named among the top 7 freelance marketplaces by Forrester, Vicoland has clearly got off to a promising start. While it's still in its early stages, it is tapping into an ever-growing market with high demand and is certainly one to watch as it develops further.
