Welcome to BBEco

We are a community of 2000+ freelance consultants and a global client network consisting of leading start-up, PE/VC, corporate and consulting clients.

We’re building a different type of freelance consulting platform – one which builds deeper relationships and forges better connections between our freelance community and global client base.

HOW WE’RE BUILDING A BETTER NETWORK

When designing BBEco we wanted to build an alternative to the outdated & expensive recruitment agency model and the cold & transactional projects platform approach. We believe we’re building a better solution by adopting some very simple & fair processes:

TARGETED COMMUNITY

We maintain a small targeted community consisting of the very best freelance consulting talent. This helps use maintain better contact and establish better connections across each project assignment.

simple flat fees

We use a fair & transparent flat fee model instead of the % of day rate model saving clients 66% on average (in fees) across every project engagement.

ALWAYS ADAPTING

 Client & freelancer feedback is at the heart of our product roadmap. We continuously review & adapt how we operate: always trying to improve and optimize our service.

BEST IN CLASS SUPPORT

Every project is worked on by a ‘Partner’ level expert. We don’t delegate time critical projects to ‘junior’ support staff – we give you 100% of our time and focus.

THINK BIG – STAY SMALL

 We remain self-funded which lets us maintain creative control around how we grow BBEco. With no angel investors or VC-backing – we’re not pressured into meeting unrealistic growth targets which could jeopordise our operating model.
