SanityDesk Accepted to Techstars LA to Build a Small Business Growth Ecosystem

    AUSTIN, TX, August 12, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- SanityDesk took a key step towards realizing a growth ecosystem for small businesses. SanityDesk is one of 12 startups selected out of several hundred applications to the Techstars program in Los Angeles. Over the coming months, SanityDesk will prepare for the public launch of its all-in-one tool and marketplace model. 

By building a marketplace with SaaS, SanityDesk will have the analytics to understand the work and real impact of freelancers. This provides a greater level of transparency and trust that standalone marketplaces cannot (e.g. Upwork and Fiverr).

SanityDesk is currently in private beta with 200 paying customers.

"We realized very early that great tools are not enough for small businesses. 72% of our customers want access to marketing talent to help their businesses grow - and they want the talent to have proven past impact. This means you must be able to measure outcomes and actions of their work - you can only do this when you have a marketplace combined with the software tools."
Samuel Cook, CEO, SanityDesk
