In October 2013, Michael Brooks, CEO of goLance, came up with an idea to create a global platform that would connect freelancers with clients in a secure, yet flexible and transparent way.
The platforms that were already available on the market had many limitations such as high payment and withdrawal fees, hidden exchange rate fees, inability to subcontract work, payment freezes, and insufficient support for additional functionality required by agencies.
Michael recognized the need to develop a platform that would contribute to a more efficient  workflow through:
  • Lowered fees for freelancers and zero fees for clients
  • The possibility to synchronize freelancer data with professional networks
  • Fast and transparent payments through a variety of payment systems
  • Time tracking capabilities
  • No strict differentiation between employers and freelancers
  • Cashback & referral bonuses
