#1900 How this founder built a niche marketplace connecting businesses with scientists

Startup Stories - Mixergy - A podcast by Andrew Warner - Fridays

Joining me is an entrepreneur who discovered there was no easy way to hire a scientist. If you have a company and you need a specific expertise, there’s no clear path for contacting these experts. To create a solution, she launched a marketplace where anyone could hire PhD level experts and scientists. I invited her to Mixergy to tell me how she did it. Ashmita Das is the co-founder of Kolabtree, a freelance platform for scientists.
