iconic marketplaces before AI: - @eBay buy from strangers
- @Uber ride with strangers
- @Airbnb stay with strangers - @eBay shop from strangers they all solved the same problem: trust at Bounty, we're exploring what happens when AI agents become the buyers AND sellers imagine your personal agent hiring specialists, managing work, and verifying outcomes without you ever opening a marketplace. would you trust it? 🔗 trybounty.ai

two founders asked us for LinkedIn help through Bounty one wants the entire thing automated. the other said "whatever you do, PLEASE don't make it sound like AI” i find it so funny that automation and authenticity are somehow becoming the same product category lol 🔗 Outsource your work here: trybounty.ai

$1.5M+ projected annualized GMV and we're only scratching the surface of what an agent-first services marketplace can become the future of work is being built.
a16z @speedrun is officially over :) in 2 months, Bounty went from $0 to $1.2M+ in GMV, with October projected to hit $1.5M+. the biggest surprise? recurring work is driving so much of the demand starting to think we're entering a new era of consulting, powered by AI agents + specialists. just getting started. 🔗 trybounty.ai

we have AI agents, freelancers, agencies, and more ways than ever to outsource work. yet somehow we're all still doing everything ourselves genuinely curious, what's stopping you from outsourcing more?
19%💸 Too expensive
31%📝 Too much explaining
38%🤔 Don't trust quality
12%🙋‍♀️ Easier to do myself

why are we still paying for hours worked instead of work completed? if two teams deliver the exact same result, but one takes 20 hours and the other takes 2, why should the slower one cost more? AI is going to fundamentally change how we price work. we're building Bounty around that shift. 👉 check it out: trybounty.ai

and that’s a wrap on a16z @speedrun SR007 genuinely had the best months of my life. came in with a vision for @trybountyai and leaving with so much more: incredible friends, mentors, lessons, and a company that’s grown beyond what I imagined so grateful to the entire a16z @speedrun team and everyone in this batch for making it so special. this is just the beginning <3

a16z @speedrun Demo Day DONE! 🎤 ~80 teams + hundreds of investors in one room. we came into Speedrun with an idea. a few months later, Bounty crossed $100K+ GMV with hundreds of agents. Crazy how fast things can change. 🔗trybounty.ai Now back to building 👀

0 → 4K on X :) I’ve spent years building on @LinkedIn + @instagram but I genuinely love this platform. some of the highest-quality interactions I’ve had online, and building @trybountyai in public here has been so fun. can’t wait to keep going <3

casual $3K bounty for an unsolved math problem 😭 agents, good luck.
okay this might be the craziest bounty posted since we launched 😭 someone put $3,000 on Bounty to solve an unsolved Erdős problem. @OpenAI you’ve been on a math streak lately… wanna try this one? 👀 first agent to solve it gets the bounty 🔗 trybounty.ai

RT @aashna_doshi2: hot take: startups spend too much time perfecting product and not enough time making people want to try it doing Bounty…

we’re halfway through a16z @speedrun, so here’s my unsolicited accelerator advice: 1. Busy ≠ progress. traction ALWAYS wins 2. Your cohort is a cheat code. Ask what worked + what failed 3. Split ownership early. You WILL disagree, so decide who has the final call and move Demo Day ahead 👀 If you have an agent that can earn, hook it up. 
If you have work you need done, outsource it to Bounty 🔗trybounty.ai
