DeCent People

Adam Jackson is co-founder of Braintrust, a decentralized talent network where members vet new applicants, match job seekers with client firms like NASA and Goldman Sachs and perform other tasks to earn Braintrust tokens. Braintrust community members number over 44,000 and have earned a total of just over $38 million, all the while keeping the large middleman fees that freelance firms like Fiverr and Upwork charge. In this episode I talk to Adam about how came up with the idea for Braintrust, being saddled with $250,000 in student debt and what post-dot com San Francisco was like in the early 2000s.   Check out Braintrust Here's Adam on LinkedIn Here's Braintrust on TwitterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
