Leaders,
Rishon is one of the founders of 10x, which is one of the OGs operating as a talent agency instead of a marketplace. In 2012, Rishon and Michael Solomon started 10x and brought decades of experience managing musicians, directors, and other creative entities to the technology sector.
One could argue 10x predicted the future by building a talent agency with a hyper rich and robust talent network instead of being a large horizontal marketplace. Because of this, 10x has carved their place as a trusted and exclusive resource for companies seeking the best and most coveted freelance tech experts.
Key learnings to listen out for:
1: How Rishon and Michael 'entrepreneured' their way into 10x
2: How to build partnerships, robust talent networks, and deep client relationships
3: Exciting marketplace innovations, specifically their TAP (talent availability program)
4: What has NOT changed in the freelance economy
5: Balancing landing vs expanding, should you service existing customers or go net new
6: What is the HOOK for 10x and the freelance economy
