freelance 2.0 - the New reality of work

Your future workforce is in the Human Cloud

In the next 5 years, over half the world’s talent will leave the traditional workforce. They won’t stop working, they’ll be outside your HR or Procurement channels. We help you access this talent, while saving 30-60%, and making your business teams love you.

Our Vision

Just like cloud computing, work is being disrupted by digital workforce technology we call the "Human Cloud". Rather than AWS and Azure, the Human Cloud has 800+ talent platforms that harness the power of the future workforce; freelancers.

Human Cloud is the connector between enterprises and talent platforms. We use our data, our experience, and our global reach to grow the freelance economy from a $2.5t industry to a $10t industry by 2030.

Our Work

We are both an air force and a ground force. We know where work is going, we lead the conversations between experts, entrepreneurs, and enterprises, and we get in the trenches with the world's best companies.

To enterprises, we are strategy and deployment partners. We use exclusive access to experts, playbooks, and PM's to take their initiatives from idea to successful implementation across the company.

How Leading Enterprise Executives View The Future Of Work

To platforms, we are growth partners. We get them in front of customer, partnership, and acquisition opportunities.

We understand how technology is transforming work

"Human Cloud is two transformations – artificial intelligence and the freelance economy – and how they are deconstructing the world of work. With the power of Human Cloud, you can create, innovate, and invent whole new products and markets for your ideas.”
