It was crunch time for Go Together, Inc founder Kimberly Moore. Moore is a tech startup founder that was scheduled to pitch her rideshare app CarpooltoSchool at SXSW in just a few days. And although she could have used another talent marketplace to hire or asked her social media network for help, Kimberly wanted to connect with a diverse person like herself. Therefore, she turned to Incluzion and requested a freelancer through the platform to design a winning pitch deck.

Kimberly M. was presented with several candidates but ultimately chose front-end developer and designer, Kimberly Harris. Harris is employed as a software development intern and wanted to supplement her income. Kimberly H. was able to reply to the request with a fee she was comfortable with and Kimberly M’s budget. After Kimberly M. (the client) uploaded the payment to escrow, Kimberly H. (the freelancer) promptly completed and returned the finished pitch deck. After Kimberly M marked the job as complete, Kimberly H’s entire fee was distributed to her account.

The result: Kimberly Moore won $10,000 at SXSW for her pitch!!!
