Kolabtree, a scientific freelance platform, reaches 10,000 member milestone

Online platform for freelancing scientists, Kolabtree, has recently hit five-digit membership with 10,000 registered freelancers on the site.

The company said following this achievement, the platform is better equipped than ever before to enable access to the specialist skills required for projects such as analysing data, designing a clinical trial, helping with regulatory approval or scientific writing. These skills help businesses to develop new products, conduct robust research and grow their businesses.

Launched in 2015, Kolabtree is an on-demand marketplace that connects businesses with highly qualified scientists and academics.

With the aim of making scientific expertise easily accessible, Kolabtree helps organisations hire experts on demand. Each month, over 400 projects that require the skills of a specialist are posted on the platform.

Businesses simply enter their requirements and receive quotes from qualified freelancers, usually within 24 hours. Over 2,500 businesses have successfully completed projects with the help of Kolabtree’s global network of freelance experts.

“Access to specialist skills used to be a privilege reserved for large companies with extensive budgets,” explained Ashmita Das, Kolabtree CEO. “As our pool of freelancers increases, we will be able to match the skills of the freelancer even more precisely with the requirements of a project," she added.

Das pointed out that as the gig economy sweeps across industries, it’s clear that highly skilled knowledge workers have a role to play. She explained: “In a time of uncertainty, Kolabtree provides access to these skills by removing the financial, political and geographic barriers."
