peopleperhour is a purposedriven business… everything we do comes back to our purpose, which is to help people start and build their own businesses and live their dream of being independent. more than the what we do, and what we make, what defines us is the impact it has, why it matters to the world and how it makes a difference.

three years in, struggling to scale the business up as fast as i’d liked, i started thinking how i could use the internet to do that. so i started an experiment: i put a simple onepager on the url ‘paperhour.com’ asking buyers to submit their request online. mean time sellers could sign up as service providers with a short brief of their skills which got dumped in an excellike data base.

the early beginnings of a marketplace was born. every buyer request came to my inbox and i would frantically make calls and send emails to create a ‘match’, taking a 10% cut on jobs that i would manually invoice on a spreadshee
