About Passionfruit

Passionfruit is the world’s fastest growing marketing freelancer platform. We’re aSeries A business that has raised $13.3m from top VCs in Europe and the US(Seaya, firstminute, FJ Labs, Playfair) to change how people and businesses work— and we’re just getting started.

Initially our customers were seed stage startups, but nowadays we are also partnerswith global brands like PepsiCo, Mars and Speedo as well.

In a nutshell we are creating a genuine and robust alternative to full time work, bycreating a platform for anyone who wants to work, learn and earn as a freelancer.

Right now, 70% of freelancers are men over the age of 45. This is because they arethe ones who typically have the relationships and Rolodexes to get consistent wellpaying work as a business of one.

For the rising generation of workers, who come from all backgrounds, freelancing isa pipe dream or at best a hard slog. Even for the well connected that do “gofreelance”, it’s an unpredictable life. Many try and end up having to return to full timework.

Passionfruit exists to make that freelance career choice sustainable and rewardingfor everyone who wants it, long term.
