RemoteGenies, a pioneering freelance marketplace developed by Filipinos for Filipinos, has secured a spot in the Hong Kong Quarterfinals of the esteemed Startup Grind Global Pitch Battle 2025. This achievement highlights the platform’s innovative approach to connecting pre-vetted Filipino freelancers with clients worldwide.
About RemoteGenies
Established to empower Filipino professionals, RemoteGenies serves as a global marketplace exclusively featuring top-tier, pre-vetted Filipino freelancers. The platform offers a unique bidding process, dedicated project coordinators for each task, and the GenieScholar initiative, which sponsors education for underprivileged children in the Philippines for every 200 hours worked by freelancers.
Key Features of RemoteGenies:
- Unique Bidding Process: Clients post tasks or projects, which are then matched with pre-vetted freelancers, known as “Genies,” possessing the relevant skills and expertise. Clients can select up to five Genies to bid for their task, ensuring a competitive environment that allows clients to choose the most suitable freelancer for their specific needs.
- Dedicated Project Coordinators: Once a client and a Genie are matched, a project coordinator is assigned to oversee the project from start to finish. This ensures accountability, timely completion, and adherence to quality standards. The project coordinator acts as a liaison between the client and the freelancer, facilitating clear communication and providing support whenever necessary.
- GenieScholar Initiative: RemoteGenies is committed to making a positive impact through its GenieScholar initiative. For every 200 hours worked by freelancers on the platform, RemoteGenies sponsors one child’s education for a year in the Philippines. This initiative reflects the company’s belief in education as a cornerstone for a better future and its dedication to giving back to the community. By choosing RemoteGenies, clients not only receive top-tier services but also contribute to this noble cause, helping to sponsor up to 100 children per year.
By integrating these features, RemoteGenies not only connects clients with exceptional Filipino talent but also fosters a community-driven approach that emphasizes quality, accountability, and social responsibility.
