iContract looks to raise £300k via crowdfunding
by Startacus Admin
iContract, a unique online platform connecting professional contractors with recruiters and employers for job 
matching and professional networking, is looking to raise £300k via crowdfunding platform Seedrs and currently (at time of publication) sits at 200k+ in investment funded.
iContract is a platform built by contractors, for contractors. With its data matching capability, interactivity, and bespoke search tool – it allows contractors in the legal, finance and tech sectors to find contracts more suited and relevant to their skills, experience and personal requirements, plus help them manage their working lives as contractors more efficiently. 
In addition to accurate contract searches, the site also provides contractors with access to third party support for mortgages, accountancy and insurance, as well as an interactive community to engage with.
In an era of increased flexible working, iContract CEO and Co-Founder Amanda Cai saw a unique opportunity to create a platform that embraced this new way of working and give contractors more control over their work lives, and ultimately a better work-life balance.
Proceeds hopefully raised from this campaign will go towards further product development of the
platform with planned features and enhancements including; payment system, full text search, social universe, peer rating, enhancement of newly launched mobile app, and enhancement of the site’s data matching algorithm that will feed into the company’s AI research.
Launched in August 2017, the company has so far has attracted over 4,000 contractors in finance, tech and legal registered, over 500 recruiter users registered, and has had over 1,000 live contracts posted to its platform.
