"Too many freelance platforms are designed to keep people dependent, distracted, and paying fees just to stay visible. We built Shoutt to flip that dynamic. Our goal is to give freelancers back control over their time, their income, and the work they choose to take on. This funding, which we are delighted to have secured, lets us keep building the infrastructure freelancers actually need to run independent, sustainable businesses on their own terms."
The company has also appointed James Hardy as an investor and strategic advisor.
