Go to the “My Projects” section in your profile menu.
Click the ”+ Add New” button.
Follow the step-by-step instructions to fill out the project details.
Step 1: Describe Your Project

Step 2: Provide a Project Description
Briefly describe your project goals, target audience, key features, and specific requirements.
If possible, attach any documents that can help companies better understand your vision.

If you’re unsure, you can skip this step, and our experts will help you choose the best solutions for your needs.
Step 4: Define Your Preferences for Companies
Provide details about the type of company you’re looking for, such as team size and the services you need for the project.
This information will help us match you with the ideal partner more effectively.
Once you’ve completed the form, you can preview your project by clicking “Preview”.
To go back and make changes, click “Back to creating a Project”.
When you’re ready, click “Publish Project” to make your project live.
After publishing your project, use the “Find a match” button to search for companies that best meet your requirements.
The platform will analyze all the data and suggest the best options, allowing you to easily choose the most suitable company.
Review the profiles of the suggested companies by clicking “View Profile”, and send an invitation to collaborate on your project by selecting “Invite to a Project”.
In the “My Projects” section, you can create new projects, as well as view or delete existing ones.
This section includes three tabs:
“All Contracts” — all your projects.
“Applications” — projects for which companies submit their applications.
“Archive” — projects that have been moved to the archive.
After selecting a project you are working on, the “Overview” tab will open, where all the key information about the project is displayed.
To view applications submitted by companies for this project, go to the “Applications” tab.
In this tab, you will find:
You can also add applications to your “Favorites” list by marking them with a star.
By opening an application, you will gain access to all the details provided by the company and can start a conversation with them to discuss the terms of collaboration in greater detail.
If, after the discussion, you decide to work with the company, click “Accept and Start Project”, and the project status will change to “Active Project”.
If an application does not meet your expectations, you can decline it by clicking “Reject Application”.
To simplify and streamline the management of multiple applications, we’ve introduced statuses that make it easy to determine the stage of each application.
Application statuses change according to the following logic:
– the company submitted an application that the client has not yet reviewed.
– the client invited the company, but it has not yet submitted an application.
– the client invited the company, and it submitted an application.
– the client reviewed the application.
– a dialogue between the company and the client has started.
– the client rejected the application or chose another company.
– the company canceled the application after submitting it.
Additionally, projects that are in progress have the status 
, while completed projects are marked as 
.
For your convenience, we’ve created a comparison table that allows you to quickly and easily analyze applications from different companies.
To use this feature:
(1).
After completing these steps, a user-friendly comparison table will open. This table allows you to analyze multiple applications simultaneously based on all available parameters.
To mark a project as completed, go to its page and click the “Mark as completed” button.
Once this is done, the project’s status will change to “Completed”, and the company that carried out the work will receive a corresponding notification.
If a company marks your project as “Сompleted”, you will receive an email asking you to confirm the completion on your end and provide review on your collaboration.
Additionally, when you leave the project’s page, a window with a similar prompt will open automatically.
After the project is completed, you will have the opportunity to leave feedback about your collaboration with the company on the project page.
The review includes:
Your review will be visible in the company’s profile once they have also left their feedback about collaborating with you.
Important! After the project is completed, you will have 10 days to leave a review. If you do not leave a review once this period ends, a review about your collaboration will appear on your page, but the client will not receive feedback from you.
Terminate Project
If you need to terminate an active project, follow these steps:
Select the “Terminate Project” option.
To confirm, type the word “TERMINATE” in the provided field.
After terminating the project, you will have the option to leave a review about your collaboration with the company:
Your review will become visible in the company’s profile once they have also left a review about your project.

If you need to cancel a project that is in the application collection stage, follow these steps:
Select the “Unpublish Project” option.
