Crowdsourcing and Marketplaces
Created 12 years ago in Industries / Marketplaces

in the past 6 years I have built 2 crowdsourcing platforms, raised over $3.5m in seed funding and Series A for both. One of them was acquired in 2013.
At both platforms I was product owner and responsible for all functional specifications, hiring teams and strategy. I was also responsible for growth hacking our crowdsourcing communities.
Evly is a drag-and-drop crowdsourcing site builder with tools to embed every challenge into Facebook pages. In 5 minutes anyone can create any type of crowdsourcing site with no experience whatsoever and engage fans in Facebook and across the web.
Springleap is a marketplace of over 180,000 advertising agency experts for the world's best insights and copy-testing.
Each presented challenges ranging from user acquisition strategies through to complex issues such as vetting the crowd and writing complex algorithms to weed out fraudulent voting styles.

Source: Clarity Adeel Khan Jan 30, 2015It doesn’t take longer than a few minutes with Eran to understand how he got to where he is today. The energy and intensity he brings to a team is contagious. He operates on the next level.
Eran’s honesty in the workplace is a clear indicator of how he conducts business. You always know where you stand with him and he expects the same in return.
His most admirable quality as a CEO is his openness to change. Besides constantly looking for new opportunities and ways to innovate on his own, he is open to suggestions in a constant effort to be the best.

Source: LinkedIn Ansi Gilfillan Nov 17, 2014Eran is a driven, ambitious CEO who consistently under promises and over delivers. He is a pleasure to work with and further, his work ethic is such, that when Erin puts his name on a task or project (regardless of how many countries and time zones are between you), the job always gets done, well above par. Great work Eran - keep it up!
