✔️Summary:
In this interview, 23 year old Karl Swanepoel, the Founder and CEO of Revolancer, discussed the vision and success of his tech startup. Revolancer is a rapidly growing freelance marketplace, boasting a user base of over 20,000 individuals. ⚡
The core mission of Revolancer revolves around empowering freelancers, businesses, and independent professionals, offering them freedom in their work lives. The offering that sets Revolancer apart is that users are not burdened by the high commission fees that traditional freelance platforms often impose. ☝
By using a subscription model, Revolancer aims to provide an attractive alternative for freelancers and businesses seeking cost-effective solutions. Karl emphasized that Revolancer seeks to foster a collaborative environment where freelancers can connect with clients directly via video chat, for example, enabling them to more effectively exchange services and keep a more substantial portion of their earnings. Great news is that Revolancer is going to make the product completely free in the near future in order to substantially grow the user base. 📈
Karl and I also had an interesting discussion on artificial intelligence (AI), which is part of his educational background. Contrary to what many people believe, while Chat GPT may seem impressive, it is actually quite limited in its ability to operate independently from humans. Chat GPT is not sentient and does not think like a human at all. Period. Automation, not necessarily AI related, has indeed taken jobs away in the past decades already. However, these are mundane tasks that do not require any advanced skills, like automated cash registers. Similarly, AI can expect to free us from lower level tasks and focus on what is truly meaningful. 🏆
