The last seven months have been a whirlwind at Gigwalk — we’ve launched hundreds of thousands of Gigs, made thousands of payouts to individuals and connected real people with a real source of secondary income across the country.

Today, we are delighted to announce some key achievements — so read on to get the scoop.

1.5 million tasks completed since launch. Wow. 
Not only is that a lot of Gigs (about 125,000 to be exact), this achievement represents effort from individuals across the country to collect critical business data and photographs to document intersection blockages, restaurant menus and small business interiors. 

Expansion to new categories of work.
When we started, we primarily focused on Field Research Gigs that solved big data mapping issues and were located at a specific location. As our market footprint has expanded, the need to support new types of work has become apparent. We now support six categories of Gigs:

• Field Research: Collecting information  about products or businesses. 
• Photography and Media: Generating multimeida content from a location, event or experience. 
• Quality Inspection: Evaluating a service, product or location. 
• Administrative Support: Assisting with administrative support and office duties. 
• Onsite Technical Service: Provide installation, maintenance or repair services. 
• Field Sales & Marketing: Promote a product, brand or business.   

100,000+ mobile workforce of skilled individuals
Of all our achievements, we are most excited about the workforce of mobile-device enabled, App powered individuals. These people rock! Their occupations range from EMTs, to photographers, to Apple Geniuses.  We share their desire for real, flexible work — the opportunity to work on the go, when your schedule, your interest and your skills match the needs of a business.

New Fortune 500 customers
We are excited to share that eBay, BMW, Mercedes and Chegg have joined the growing list of companies using Gigwalk.   

It’s Still Day One
With all of these exciting achievements, we still know that this is just the beginning — it is still day one.  Our vision is to change the way work gets done — to define a new class of flexible work that can be done on the go. Even though folks like Andy Ransford, a medical student in Miami, earn $1,000’s with Gigwalk in-between classes or Lisa Duncan, an office manager in San Mateo earn $100’s a week after work; we know that this is just the beginning.
