Lean startup: What is your go-to site for hiring freelance resources to build your startup?

Manolis Sfinarolakis, RealityCrowdTV Crowdfunding Summit & Incubator answered:

The best ones that I have used are as follows:

O-Desk: https://www.odesk.com/. This is good for more complex tasks that are still relatively cheap to implement.
Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/. These are small jobs that cost $5 bucks per gig. Good to get small stuff done fast.

I hate to say this, but this is how I found a great outsourcing partner in India. I spoke to my friend who recently moved to the U.S. from India and ask them if they wanted to be my "interpreter" to find a good outsourcing partner for additional tasks. They actually knew people doing exactly what I wanted to get done and they were able to connect me to a great small firm in India that has great and ambitious contractors for hire for only $6 per hour.

Sometimes the best way to do it is ask an Indian or Chinese friend :).
