Testimonials
Field & Co | Gig Lab
"I decided to apply to Gig Lab because I was freelancing when I first graduated from school and it was kind of just like, really unsuccessful, because I didn't have a proper plan in place. I didn't have any supports or a mentor. And I was just kind of flying by the seat of my pants and doing whatever I wanted to do. So when I found the opportunity for Gig Lab, I wanted to apply because I wanted to be able to have some accountability and get a plan in place to be able to restart my freelance business in a strategic way.” -Kate Bradfield, freelance founder
