Every founder talks about doing more with less. Benjemen Elengovan is actually doing it. He built an agentic workforce of AI agents that handle his sales prospecting, operations, and engineering acceleration, and the results are rewriting the math on what a lean team can accomplish. MyGigsters is a ...
The APAC fractional talent market is growing 15x and nobody is talking about it. Michelle Allbon moved from Silicon Valley to New Zealand and discovered a $100M market opportunity hiding across four cities. She built Fractional Directory to start mapping it.

Independent contractor compliance is the 900-pound gorilla blocking enterprises from scaling flexible talent. The platforms exist. The talent exists. But most companies get 10 freelancers in the door and never get to 1,000 because compliance shuts it down. Jeff Nugent has watched this play out acros...
