Bà Tân | : Welcome @Val313 from Freela

Val : I’m Val, community manager of Freela 🙂

Bà Tân | : Welcome everyone. Today Im Community will host AMA with Freela.

Today our guest is: @Val313 from Freela.

thank you for hosting us

Bà Tân | : Please introduce yourself a bit: @Val313

Val : Well, I guess introducing our CEO is more important than myself :p

Mahadev Vasireddy is the Freela CEO, he pursued Computer Science from Penn State University and comes with an entrepreneurial background and training. He is the Vice Chairman of elite educational institutions, Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology (VVIT) and VIVA The School. In the last couple of years, he also executed responsibilities as Global Ambassador of both VVIT and VIVA, playing a crucial role in establishing partnerships with Government and various MNCs including Google, Siemens and Coursera.

Mr. Mahadev’s innovative thinking and knowledge about industry 4.0 led to the idea and inception of Freela, a Defi-powered, commission-free, P2P and self-governing DAO. He envisions Freela to be a game changing Blockchain unicorn and the future of freelancing facilitating a win-win platform for both employers & employees ensuring “right person on right job for the right pay at no extra cost”.

And for people who are not familiar with Indian Institutions, VVIT is the 3rd biggest college of engineering in the state of AP and rated among the top 25 most innovative colleges in the entire country by govt of India

Bà Tân | : @Val313 Please say “Done” when you have finished the question, thank you.

sure 🙂

done ;)

Bà Tân | : Question2. What’s the motivation for starting this project Freela ?

Val : Actually, there has always been a gap between employers and employees in human race and we have had multiple systems come in place over time to bridge the gap. These include consultancies and freelancing for the last couple of decades. So the best system is the freelancing because it doesnt need a lot of layers which makes sure that the people working will get paid “almost” full amount. That “almost” had to be said because, end of day even freelancing companies are acting like a middle man by charging around 20–25% of each work. So we decided to see if its possible to re-visualize a model where the employee gets paid in full by using all the new tech like blockchain, Defi pools and Dao(patent is filed for the whole model).In even simpler words, Its the only model/platform that provides every feature than centralized companies like upwork or fiverr provides and still charge nothing literally.

done :)

Bà Tân | : Question3. What are the products that Freela focus on developing?

Val : Freela is developing the next one stop solution for every Freelancers and Companies on the market. We provide such features :

- No commission

- Professional Mediation

- Intuitive UI

- Traditional Payments

- Self Governance

- Complex Reputation system and more features that makes Freela literally erasing every actual Freelancing Platforms

done :)

Bà Tân | : Question4. What are the major milestones Freela achieved so far & what are in future pipeline ?

Val : We’re proud to say that we have closed our private sale in few days without doing any publicity, and we have some of the biggest names in space involved in the project, literally every single one of them invested in the project as soon as they got to know about it. So for now I will just share the Fund names and hold off on the partners itself. The round is lead by https://au21.capital/ (check out their insane portfolio) and the round includes Skynet Trading, Matic team, Magnus capital, Titans ventures, GenBlock capital, Kyros ventures, ThreeM capital, Partone capital and more…

we are planning to be a one stop solution for any projects and teams in coming days (this has not even been announced to partners yet 😉). So the plan is to make sure you will be able to find Developers for the project, designers for the projects, writers…..animation guys…website and even community managers and more…. So its like a one stop solution for the up coming projects who dont want to be wasting their time with the not so important stuff

done

Bà Tân | : End of session 1

Bà Tân | : We will move on to session 2

Bà Tân | : Sessions 2: We will pick 5 Best Question from our members on Our Tweet (https://mobile.twitter.com/IM_Communityitw/status/1390489307740180483).

Bà Tân | : Question1. @FearesFrank (https://twitter.com/FearesFrank)

Freelancing platforms like Freelancer, Fiverr, Upwork and offer almost all the features that you are offering in a better way. So, you think using the Defi and Blockchain technologies will be your USP and will make your platform standout from your competitors?

Val : Are they ? I don’t think that these actual platforms offer “almost” all the features that we’re offering, actually I think they’re pretty far from it.

I always found it funny how it was always called “freelancing” but never free 😂….So I felt if at all there is a company/service that can be called freelancing, its us! so just made it into a shorter form from freelancing to freela!

1. Of course none of the competitors can say they are free!

2. Our arbitrators are professionals in the specific fields trying to resolve any issues you are going to have unlike other platforms who uses the regular call center people help you out 😅

3. Our reputation system is designed in a such a way that finding the right guys becomes lot more efficient and easier

done :)

Bà Tân | : Question2.@FreeFire85 (https://twitter.com/FreeFire85)

From a startup project to a mainstream project, being a pioneer in the industry, do MARKET MAKING PRO team anticipate that many new startups will show up and compete?

Val : They can try, but we’re the first to propose a Commission Free Platform with professional mediation and reputation system.

And obviously being the first of its kind and a pioneer in the industry give us a big advantage. So we expect to keep it :)

done

Bà Tân | : Question3. @Account8595 (https://twitter.com/Account8595)

Investigating your project in depth I could see that you plan a complete integration with African markets, could you give us more details about why the project is so interested in alliances with African markets? What benefits does the project obtain with these alliances?

Val : We are planning a complete integration with the global market, African market is itself a heavy one in huge expansion and we will of course take also advantage from it, but clearly not restricted to Africa :)

done

Bà Tân | : Question4. @Sophiamangak (https://twitter.com/Sophiamangak)

Smart contracts are vulnerable to bugs, and even recently three big new DeFi projects were victims of this, costing users funds. How efficient and secured is your smart contract, and did you ever audit it via any external party?

Val : Will be having a audit soon! but yeah it was quite unfortunate people had to lose a lot of money…

done

Bà Tân | : Question5.@KGFvip707523 (https://twitter.com/KGFvip707523)

Is your project a local project or a global project? Can anyone use your services from anywhere in the world? Are there any restrictions of using your service?

Val : Anyone can join Freela and will be able to start to propose services and/or jobs offering ! So, no restriction of any kind.

Q1. Could you please provide some info about your Roadmap and how Market is progressing so far?

Val : We just closed our private sale raising 1.4M from big actors in the space without doing any publicity, so pretty cool, we will also release our mvp in the next weeks :)

Q2. Now, the token launch process is easy, but to develop the ecosystem, stabilize prices, expand the market is a challenge in every project? So what are your team first steps towards solving this problem? what is your plan to maintain token price & supply in the market?

Val : We selected carefully our investors on what value they can add, we expect to provide a useful product that will be the best solution to every freelancers and companies that need freelancer

Q3. What is your strongest advantage that you think will make your team leading the market? In contrast, what is your weakness? How do you plan to overcome it?

Val : Our advantages are clearly all the features we’re providing, from them a total free commission platform is difficult to overwhelm.

We are usually not a team thats ok with having weak points, so of course we did have a lot of weak points over time but we made sure we addressed them and that is how we ended up here. In simple words, I dont see weak points rn because if I do, I will make sure its not weak anymore. So if you guys can find any weak elements, please let us know and we will work on it 🥂

sorry it’s a bit long, I need to check everyone who joined or not before selecting the questions haha

Q4. Can you share your fundraising situation and how your private and public offering tokens are distributed? And what are the plans for the next IEO? What should we prepare if we want to participate?

Val : Our fundraising situation is ok, Freela raised enough to do everything we need, Our IDOs will come this month on BSCPAD and Poolz, which will be followed by a public sale which will be announced later :)

we’re astonished by the support we got from funds and investors, so we’re not worried about anything and everything is going very well.

Q5. Adoption & Awareness about Platform is very important for any Creator as well as Users! So, What are your plans to attract More users as well as Creators with Non-crypto users too ?

Val : Our plans is to stay on what we’re developping, a commission free freelancing platform, self governed with extensive tools that will provide everything that individuals and professionnals could need to work efficiently. We’ve traditional payment and all, so we’re not targetting crypto users. Rather we expect crypto companies to rush toward our platform for seeking developpers, content writers, designers and all :)
