Turning expert access into scoped, priced work—in one message
Meet the updated Outpost, a new kind of expert marketplace.
The idea came from a simple frustration: even when you know what kind of person you want to work with—hiring contractors is still slow. You write a job post, message people one by one, negotiate scope and pricing, and hope they reply.
Outpost flips that.
You describe what you need. We scope the work, price it, and match you with the right expert. If they’re already on the platform, you chat instantly. If not, we reach out with a scoped offer and money in escrow. No friction, no ghosting, no guesswork.
We’re starting with 10,000+ professionals from companies like Google, Stripe, Figma, and Airbnb—people who don’t respond to DMs but will take a $500–$2K scoped gig if it’s well-defined and ready to go. Or quick feedback for $10 a message.
Start chatting with Outpost immediately. No login required. Just describe your need and we’ll scope it for you.
Outpost generates real offers based on your request—clear deliverables, pricing, and format. You can pay per message or buy a full service.
If the expert is already on Outpost, we start the conversation immediately. If not, we contact them with everything they need to say yes: scope, price, and escrowed payment.
Everything happens in one thread. Easy for the person requesting help. Even easier for the person delivering it.
If you’re curious, want early access, or just want to jam on workflows like this, reply to this email or DM me. I’d love to connect with you!
