Shoutt.ai operates an artificial intelligence platform designed to help freelancers and gig workers discover personalised work opportunities across the web. The system aims to reduce the time spent searching multiple job boards and marketplaces.
Shoutt.ai has raised £525k in a funding round backed by SFC Capital and angel investors. The capital will be used to enhance the platform's service and scale its reach within the freelance marketplace.
The company provides an always-on agent trained by human experts to scan the web for relevant gigs, aiming to reduce the time freelancers spend scouring multiple job boards. Founders Saleem Yaqub and Jonathan Eadie launched the venture to provide an affordable alternative to traditional platforms with high fees.
From the founder
"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."
