Need your opinions on my startup idea

Hi guys, a quick intro about myself:

I’m the founder of a B2B talent marketplace that helps businesses connect with vetted agencies and freelancers for services like design, video, development, and marketing. I’m a tier-1 college graduate and have been building this for about a year now. We’ve generated revenue and worked with over 50 startups so far.

Here’s the problem I kept noticing:

  • Startups often have bad experiences with freelancers.
  • Deadlines slip, quality isn’t consistent, and communication breaks down.
  • On the other side, freelancers take on too much and underdeliver because they’re always chasing new clients.

So I decided to build something better:

A tech platform where:

  • Businesses get matched to one best-fit freelancer or agency using AI
  • Matches are based on skill, budget, timeline, and past project relevance
  • A project dashboard tracks everything in one place
  • Our team adds a human layer for support and delivery
  • We also offer white-label infra for agencies and creators

The goal is to scale this into a high-trust, execution-focused platform. Distribution will be a big part of that. I’ve worked on content-led products before, so I understand how to leverage platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram to build brand trust and inbound.

Would love feedback on two things:

  • Does the model sound practical and fundable?
  • Any advice on raising as a non-tech founder with early revenue and insight?

Thanks a lot for reading. Happy to share more if anyone’s curious.

Asking for curiosity: How does your new platform solve inconsistent quality and freelancers under delivering problems you mentioned? Does "human touch" mean there will be at least 1 progress tracker person present from your platform for each successful match?
