Beyond matchmaking, Shakers is building a ‘Freelancer OS’ offering banking, insurance, and productivity benefits traditionally reserved for full-time employees. This ecosystem aims to make freelancing both viable and aspirational.

The platform emphasizes speed, quality, and human ingenuity. Its hybrid teams combine vetted human specialists with autonomous AI agents, giving companies a flexible workforce ready to scale instantly.

Shakers faces competition from platforms like Upwork, Malt, and Fiverr, but its end-to-end AI orchestration, verified talent pools, and support for collaborative squads differentiates it in the rapidly evolving freelance economy.

The startup’s strategy highlights the future of work: AI-assisted hiring, coordinated hybrid teams, and seamless freelancer benefits—reshaping how businesses access and deploy top-tier tech talent.
