Tinyproj has been acquired.
It’s official: Tinyproj is now part of GroupTalent. I couldn’t be more pleased with how things have played out, and I’d like to give some brief thoughts on how and why this all took place.
About a month ago, I wrote an email update to Tinyproj members outlining what’s been going on with the service, the struggle with consistently getting high quality projects, as well as my thoughts on improving the product and bringing in projects more regularly. Around the same time, I started chatting with the guys at GroupTalent; the more we talked, the more I realized that all of the things I’d wanted to do with Tinyproj, they were already doing — and doing extremely well.
Ultimately, my goal in starting Tinyproj was to create a service that connects you with well-paid, quality projects. GroupTalent exists for this very same reason, and that’s why I believe it’s a perfect match for Tinyproj. They’ve got the talent, momentum, and most importantly, the same ideals about respectful, quality work that I do.
One important point to note is that members’ data is not being automatically transferred over or otherwise accessed by GroupTalent, unless the member opts in to the transition; instead, the email contained a signup link that allows Tinyproj users to skip the line over at GroupTalent. It was important to me to do this deal in a way that remained respectful to our users, and it speaks volumes about the GroupTalent team that they are on board with this.
I’m very much looking forward to following their progress, and I encourage you to give GroupTalent a shot if you’re a developer or designer looking for high quality projects to dive in to.
