ScopeWorks connects growing companies with vetted development, design, legal, marketing and finance specialists — structured proposals, milestone escrow and one workspace per project, instead of a spreadsheet of freelancer contacts.
Most companies find a specialist through a referral, a DM, or a name someone half-remembers from a conference. What happens next is usually a scope discussion over email, a rate negotiated in the same thread, and a payment sent by bank transfer with nothing enforcing the milestones either side agreed to. It works, until it doesn't — and there's no record, no verification, and no recourse when it doesn't.
ScopeWorks is a marketplace built to replace that with structure: a vetted network instead of open sign-up, proposals compared side by side instead of scattered across inboxes, and payments held in escrow per milestone instead of trusted to a handshake. Every specialist profile is reviewed for portfolio quality and prior outcomes before it goes live.
We designed and built ScopeWorks in house, end to end — the public marketplace and a complete buyer dashboard. Provider and admin dashboards are the deliberate next phase, not an oversight: the buyer side had to be right first.
Every profile manually reviewed for portfolio quality, references and prior outcomes — not an open sign-up marketplace.
Buyers compare price, timeline and rating side by side instead of parsing five different email threads.
Funds held per milestone and released on approval — payment disputes handled by structure, not by argument.
Messaging, milestones and shared files live in a single thread per project, not scattered across Slack and email.
Development, design, legal, marketing, finance and more, each filterable by rate, rating and availability.
A full buyer dashboard for posting and managing projects — provider and admin dashboards are the next phase.
“We wanted the buyer side to feel finished before touching the provider or admin dashboards — better one complete workflow than three half-built ones.”
