Most of the startups that are signed up have requested to work on short-term gigs (1-2 months long) full-time. Meaning, they focus on their contracting gig full-time and their startup part-time during that period. We only accept short-term projects on the platform, ranging from a week to 3 months tops.

Also, we've seen larger startups (4 or more people) that need to bootstrap tend to only give up a portion of their team to take a contracting gig while the rest of the team focuses on the startup. Not unlike raising a round of funding.
