Young Aussie Entrepreneur Adam Stone has Built a Revolutionary Business in Speedlancer and Scaled it to the US.

Here's another episode of the "Perfect Pitch Show" where Brandon Burns, Head of Community - Runway Virtual, interviews small business founders / entrepreneurs about the secret sauce to their successful start-up journey.

Today we are excited to introduce you to Adam Stone, Founder of Speedlancer and was one of the members on the 2017 Forbes 30 Under 30 list! Adam found Speedlancer off the back of another business he owned as he quickly discovered the weaknesses and gaps to finding talented freelancers to outsource. He then decided to devote his time to building a team that was hand picked and solely dedicated to producing quality work for their clients. Now based in Los Angeles in the United States of America, Adam started off in Victoria, Australia and wants to promote the wonderful resource that is his platform.

Speedlancer isn't his first business but he believes it is his best, and a lot of that success has come from his previous attempts at changing the world through entrepreneurship. We hope our regional and remote Australian entrepreneurs will take some inspiration in Adam's story and potentially utilise him as an excellent source of information, resources and experience.

Why Speedlancer?

Adam isn't a novice at running a business, and it was through his trials with previous attempts that he found the need for a company such as Speedlancer. Speedlancer is the product of Adam's desire to bridge the gaps in the world of outsourcing talent, it definitely isn't the first website of its kind but is certainly a different approach on this kind of platform. Speedlancer consists of hand-picked teams that are tailored to a specific area, for example they have a Content Marketing team, a Design and Development team and a Thought Leadership team, but this barely grazes the surface on the resources Speedlander has to offer. These teams will then work together to deliver the highest quality product to fit your needs.

Instead of merely hiring a writer for a content campaign you will have access to a full team that will also work on strategy and how to implement this, increasing the effectivity of the work they are putting out. All teams have a base cost which can be seen on their website, a link to which you will find at the bottom of this article. However, if you're wanting to start a little smaller and don't want to commit to hiring a full team just yet, you can begin with hiring for individual tasks at a lower cost.

Adam and his team know that your time is valuable and so Speedlancer helps to eliminate the lengthy recruitment process when trying to find a new talent to add to your team and is more reliable than most freelancer-based websites. As the teams are hand-picked it is much easier to find reliable work of a high quality with all members having been previously screened. You no longer need to scroll through the abundant number of members on other similar platforms or reading through their reviews to try and find the perfect fit for you, Speedlancer has already taken care of that for you. Additionally, the platform includes a concierge service that will manage your projects for you, eliminating an extra process of administration and allowing you the freedom of knowing your work is in good hands.

Who is Using Speedlancer?

Speedlancer is a platform that is beneficial to all sizes of businesses, but Adam has found that most of their clients come from small to medium sized businesses. That being said, we can really see the potential aid this platform could bring for our remote and regional entrepreneurs just starting out. Runway Virtual is building a platform for these entrepreneurs to gain access to mentors and coaches, and we believe Adam's company and...
