What
Spudaroo.com connects talented experts with busy professionals and time strapped entrepreneurs needing business and career material. From business plans to resumes, slide presentations to web content. Experts compete to deliver on the clients schedule without the usual risk to the client of upfront payment with limited revisions.
Experts benefit from working with clients that are engaged and focused on reaching a satisfying conclusion, resulting in a well defined, time efficient project with guaranteed payment.
Why
Spudaroo was created because it was a service that we would use. Creating a startup and building the business is the most fun in the world.. well with the exception of snowboarding or running into bears! But it was the building the business part that always seemed to be the most challenging, particularly having access to the material that we needed. A couple of times we used company's that claimed to specialize in producing business plans or sales material. We'd meet, discuss and hand over some money for them to get started but the results rarely met our expectations. And when the limited revisions run out.. you're done! So it was time to level the playing field for our business and others just like us.
