    #88 Freelancer: Matt Barrie on How He Founded the Worlds Largest Freelancing & Crowdsourcing Marketplace and Became a Listed Company With a Market Cap of Over $1 Billion

    Today I’m thrilled to be joined by a true industry pioneer who’s reshaped the world of freelancing and online financing - Matt Barrie. Matt is the founder of Freelancer.com, the world’s largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace. Freelancer has empowered and connected 77 million of professionals and businesses worldwide. Freelancer is a listed company that has reached a market cap of over $1 billion.  In addition to that, his other business Escrow.com has revolutionised secure online transactions, Escrow.com is the world’s largest escrow company. It’s like paypal but for big ticket items. $7 billion of volume. Buying boats, business, airplanes. Like when facebook changed their domain to meta.com they bought the domain and trademarks through Escrow.com, instagram.com to instagram, uber.com to uber, you name it. And lastly, his third business Loadshift, which is Australia's largest heavy haulage transport marketplace, which moves as much freight in distance from the earth to the moon, everyday.  Matt’s an old friend of mine that helped me in the early days and has always been a big supporter of entrepreneurship so I’m super excited to catch up. Actually btw - Matt doesn't do anything in halves and likes to go against the grain, which is why he’s so brilliant, so we’re going to go rogue and change up the format Hosted on Acast.
